Solar Whiz effectively reduces the heat load on your ceiling and helps you keep the temperature inside the house under control.
We all know that hot air rises, but it also expands – in all directions. If you have vents in your roof space they will let warm air out. However, vents only work when the roof space is already warm – and the expanding air starts radiating into your home. Solar Whiz starts when the sun shines on the roof – and therefore prevents the heat from building up.
Reduce moisture levels: Solar Whiz is also a very effective way to reduce moisture levels in the roof space. The extraction fan removes moist air, which amongst other damaging effects may cause condensation on the roof – and in extreme cases condensation dripping onto the insulation/ceiling causing damage, such as cracking plaster and peeling paint. A Solar Whiz will also help prevent mould & mildew and protects the roof structure.
Heat extraction from inside the house: Solar Whiz may via a duct (below) remove hot air from specific rooms or areas. It may also be possible to simply place vents in specific rooms and connect the vents into the roof space, which means that the replacement air for the roof space will be partially supplied through these vents.

Solar Whiz can be used across a large number of applications including:
Homes, Sheds, Offices, Consulting rooms, Factories, Warehouse & Storage Facilities, Schools, Day Care Centers, Nursing Homes etc.
Retrofitting is easy, but every new building should include one or more Solar Whiz fans to improve energy efficiency and comfort levels.
Solar Whiz is powered by a low voltage solar panel and does not require an electrician – or connection to a power point. No wiring means that any handyman can install the Solar Whiz quickly and effectively on the roof. Ask for a copy of our detailed DIY instructions.
The Solar Whiz can be turned to face the sun no matter which way the roof is facing – so not having a north-facing roof is no problem! The adjustable PV panel mounting allows you to choose a suitable angle (up to 80 degrees) for any pitch – even if your roof faces south.
Solar Whiz is designed for durability in Australian conditions and is backed by a substantial warranty 10 Year warranty on PV panel, 2-year warranty on all other components.
From the basic science we all know, hot air tends to not only rise but also expand in every direction as long as there’s open space.
Vents will help let the hot air out, but it’s only effective for rooms that already have warm air. Once air is warm, it does not only go up and out of the vent shafts but also transfer heat into your ceiling and living space through convection.
Solar Whiz is there to make sure that the air is cool and prevent as much heat transfer from even happening.
An effective way to utilise your Solar Whiz is to use it to reduce moisture in your ceiling space. It can suck out hot, moist air and reduce the overall moisture levels of the area. This can then reduce the chances of property damage from condensation and even hamper mould growth and mildew.
In more extreme cases, this moisture reduction can prevent peeling of paint and plaster cracks in your home. Your Solar Whiz can prevent a lot of damage and keep your roofing well protected all throughout.
If you connect a duct with your Solar Whiz, you can utilise it to remove hot air from targeted areas of your home or business. Even just the simple technique of adding vents and connecting them to a solar ventilation protected roof space can replace the stale air you may have indoors. This is perfect for basements, offices and even factory floors where air tends to become stale and musty.
Your Solar Whiz can work anywhere indoors that you might think of – whether it’s at home or at any business that you have. Homes, sheds, garages, offices, warehousing, storage facilities, manufacturing and factories, schools, nurseries, care homes and much more. .
Adding this solar vent to any building is a breeze! Maximise the savings by getting at least one Solar Whiz or more, depending on how big your space is.
Solar Whiz is energy efficient and eco-friendly with a low voltage solar panel acting as its power source. It’s so easy that you don’t need licensed electricians doing it for you – or even having a power point nearby.
Any handyman or tradie can install the Solar Whiz with virtually very little effort. There’s even a do-it-yourself guide that we can provide you if you want to try installing one yourself.
The Solar Whiz is flexibly and can be faced towards the sun regardless how your roof is designed. Forget about having a north-facing roof. The PV panel mount is adjustable for any angle up to 80 degrees. It doesn’t matter what your roof pitch is. You can have your roof facing south and it will still work!
Solar Whiz is designed with extreme Australian conditions in mind – whether if it’s temperate, subtropical or even tropical climates! Your Solar Whiz is protected by a solid 10-year warranty on the solar panel and 2 years for all the other components, so you can rest easy and enjoy the benefits it can bring to your home or business.!
