It's HOT and it seems to get hotter earlier every year. The Solarking solar whirlybird roof extraction fan is simply mounted up high on the roof and extracts all of the heat from the roof space which will reduce the internal temperature of your home. For smaller homes, one will suffice. For modern 3 to 4 bedroom homes we suggest spacing 2 units a third of the way (roughly) along the roofline. Any handy person or roof plumber can install these in around 1 - 2 hours.

How It Works

The SolarKing Solar Roof Fan is strategically placed high on your roof to pull in cooler outside air, forcing it through the roof space and expelling hot, stagnant air. In summer, this solar ventilation system mimics the natural cooling effect of a two-story home, where upper levels block heat from lower ones. The adjustable solar panel ensures maximum efficiency, even on non-north-facing or flat roofs, while the DC input keeps it running after sunset with an optional power pack.

Cost Savings and Value

Priced competitively, the SolarKing Solar Roof Fan offers exceptional value. With no running costs and a potential reduction in air conditioning use, homeowners can save hundreds annually on energy bills. Compared to whirlybirds (often AU$50-$100 each with limited effectiveness), the SolarKing’s 2100 CBM/h airflow and 30°C temperature drop make it a cost-effective investment. Free shipping is included from SatPlus, adding to the savings.

Why Choose SolarKing Over Whirlybirds?

Traditional whirlybirds move just 100 CBM/h and depend on wind, making them unreliable in still conditions. The SolarKing Solar Roof Fan, with its solar-powered 2100 CBM/h capacity, delivers consistent performance whenever the sun shines—perfect for Australia’s sunny climate. Its corrosion-resistant materials suit coastal regions, and the 10-year solar panel warranty ensures long-term peace of mind.

Ideal Applications

• Residential Homes: Cool single-story or multi-story homes with tile or metal roofs.
• Garages and Sheds: Prevent heat buildup in workshops or storage spaces.
