Original price was: $1,245.00.$1,145.00Current price is: $1,145.00.
The 28W SolarWhiz Solar Powered Roof Ventilator comes complete with both the adjustable thermo/hygrostat and Night kit. The N-OPS kit (Also known as the Constant Current Module) serves as a valuable accessory to the Solar Whiz system, allowing it to operate even in low-light conditions like cloudy days or nighttime. If solar power is insufficient, mains electricity immediately assists to maintain consistent operation; this is a constant-current system, not one that waits for solar depletion. Once night falls, the system automatically transitions to operate solely on mains electricity, ensuring continuous ventilation throughout the night. Also included is an adjustable digital thermo/hygrostat, allowing you to define the required temperature & humidity for the unit to begin operating at with an easy-to-use interface. These two components combined provide the comprehensive roof ventilation solution.

How it Works
The Solar Whiz Solar Powered Ventilator with Night Kit runs whenever there is active sunlight reaching the solar panel. The mains power seamlessly supports solar energy to maintain a consistent airflow, operating on a constant-current principle. This ensures effective and reliable removal of heat and moisture from your roof space, regardless of fluctuating solar intensity. When night arrives, the unit automatically switches to run entirely on mains electricity, providing uninterrupted ventilation. This consistent operation prevents the formation of condensation and maintains a healthy atmosphere within your roof space.
For the majority of installations dealing with heat within the roof space, this is suitable as direct sunlight is often the cause of excessive roof space heat. Solar Whiz is an effective solution for hot roof spaces, providing an efficient exchange of hot air. For Solar Whiz to provide maximum performance, replacement air must be accessible and professional installation is required. High volumes of hot air can be extracted from the roof space and/or home interior, thus allowing for a much cooler atmosphere in the ceiling and living spaces.
The included Adjustable Digital Thermo/Hygrostat provides total control when your Solar Whiz operates, and you can deactivate the system to keep the heat in winter. During periods of exceptional heat, this can enable the unit to operate earlier, preventing heat build-up. Alternatively, you can deactivate the system to retain heat in winter. The Night Kit can still work during more gloomy days or even throughout the night and enables your Solar Whiz to run on mains electricity.
Powerful Extraction
In hot summer weather, as a result, up to 35% of the heat energy in your home comes from the roof. To tackle this, the Solar Whiz provides an innovative solution, harnessing the power of the sun. It helps to keep your roof’s temperature close to the ambient air and maximise air cooling throughout the day.
Moisture and Condensation Control
To prevent moisture build-up and issues such as condensation and mould/mildew growth, it is important to ensure appropriate ventilation in the home. Adequate airflow is key to avoiding any potential problems, so it is essential to take the necessary steps to guarantee proper air circulation.
Option & Add-ons
Solar Whiz offers a variety of accessories designed to maximise home cooling and ensure successful installation. With our Night Operations Kit, Fixed or Adjustable Temperature Thermostats and Hygrostats, you can have greater control over your system and enjoy optimal comfort.
Solar Whiz provides bushfire-compliant units and eave vents for optimal fire safety. For optimal efficiency, we suggest installing ceiling vents to draw heat away from certain areas.

The Solar Whiz system is designed to be highly adaptable and can be integrated into nearly any tile or metal roof. Since this system is equipped with a variety of accompanying accessories as shown below that can compensate for more complicated installation circumstances.
Ducted Extraction
The ducting system can be utilized to draw air directly from rooms, providing a highly efficient solution for controlling temperatures as well as preventing condensation. This system can be installed on its own or alongside other roof space extraction setups.
- Powerful ventilation for entire rooms.
- High-performance air and condensation extraction.
Roof Space Extraction
Solar Whiz differs from other suppliers in its comprehensive approach to efficiency, extracting hot air from your roof space and replacing it with cooler ambient air through either eaves or ceiling vents. This serves to enhance the unit’s overall performance.
- Decrease the thermal load of your roof space.
- Ducted air conditioners can operate with improved effectiveness.
Ceiling Vent Extraction
Removing air from rooms can be a highly efficient way to bring down the temperature of your home’s interior. This method is particularly advantageous in multistory houses, and it can be used in tandem with evaporative cooling to eliminate surplus humidity.
- Improve the efficiency of your evaporative air-con system through increased air circulation.
- Fresh air is circulated through your living spaces.
Up to 35% of the heat in your home is coming through your ceiling – that could mean a lot of extra heat in the summer months! With temperatures on the roof easily going as high as 70°C, it’s a great idea to take roof ventilation seriously so that all this warm air can be removed and your home can stay cool.
