Solar Roof Ventilation Adelaide

Solar roof ventilation helps reduce heat buildup in your roof space, improves airflow, and reduces energy costs by lessening the need for air conditioning. It also prevents moisture accumulation, reducing the risk of mould and structural damage.

Yes, solar ventilation fans and whirlybirds are versatile and can be installed on metal, tile, and terracotta roofs. We offer installation services tailored to different roof types, including terracotta roof restoration and metal roof repairs for optimal performance.

Installation typically takes a few hours, depending on your roof’s condition and structure. We ensure a quick, efficient process to minimise disruption to your home.

Yes, solar roof vents operate effectively even on overcast days, although their performance is highest in direct sunlight. They continue to circulate air and provide cooling benefits under most weather conditions. The motor keeps a stable speed when operating on solar rather than instantly speeding up and slowing down as clouds go past. This means the motor still runs at max speed in full sun but won’t suddenly slow down and speed up when clouds pass. 

All SolarKing fans now come with a DC power connection. Now you can connect a 15V/240V Power pack so the fan can now operate after the sun goes down. The unit will switch to the power pack automatically and then when the solar level increases again the unit will switch back to solar operation.

No. The unit is temperature controlled and will turn off automatically when the temperature drops below 25 degrees. 

Yes, placement is crucial. Solar roof ventilation fans should ideally be installed on the sunniest part of the roof to maximize exposure to sunlight. Additionally, the fan should be placed near the highest point of the roof for efficient heat and moisture extraction. The SolarKing also has an adjustable solar panel designed to be best angled to gain maximum benefit from the sun.

While some DIY enthusiasts may feel confident handling the installation, professional installation is recommended to ensure the system is correctly positioned and securely mounted for optimal performance. Professionals also ensure proper sealing to prevent leaks. Finally working on roofs is high risk with 30% of fall hospitalisations coming from ladders alone.

• They are Corrosion Resistant and thus suitable for coastal environments.
• They reduce condensation build up in your roof space thus reducing damage and elongating the lifespan of the roof.
• They have a free airflow design including an air deflection cone to allow the unit to extract air more efficiently than other models. 

Yes there are 2 more heat reduction products/methods:

• Make sure you have ceiling insulation usually in the form of bats and the higher the rating the better
• Undertake a Roof Restoration and either paint your roof with a light coloured membrane coating or apply a heat reflective coating, particularly if you are wanting a darker coloured roof.
