Our old Solartube fan system was old and was not working well. We selected the Solarking V4 C/W remote and AC backup as a replacement and called SatPlus and left a message and the call was returned. All my questions were well answered; I decided to purchase it, then it arrived and I had it mounted on the roof all within less than a week. The installation went straight forward with no difficulties.
Air flow was about 3m/s with 240Vac (full speed) and 3.4 - 3.6m/s (solar only, supply unplugged) and 4.1m/s outside discharge. Speed does increase when on solar only. I can hear the fan humming on solar only but not as much as the refrigerator, dishwasher or oven.
Functionality; Fan On/Off, 4 x fan speeds work on 240ac and solar (can reduce noise with speed), Remote pairing button, 1,2,4,8hr time delay buttons, and a 25C over-ride.
There is no command feedback to the remote, but I don’t think it is needed as I can hear a light hum change in the ceiling. The 240Vac backup system works day during cloud passing, and also night time delay off.
Because I live in Cairns, the fan regularly starts in the morning and I can let it run another 4, 8hrs after sunset or overnight on the tropical nights.
Overall, my experience was exceptional, every question asked was answered thoughtfully and respectfully, ordered, delivered, working in under a week is right up there with the best. To get both service and performance in the one package is commendable. Not overstated or underdelivered.
