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.

I would have to say that this has been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made hands down.
Not having Aircondioning due to a house fire and the time of year, trying to get any trades in is next to impossible.
I was going to buy a couple of whirlybirds, but the cost of them is ridiculous compared to the cost of this little gem.
The temperature today is 41 degrees Celsius, without having installed this last night the inside of the house, although it is extremely well insulated, would have warmed up like an oven and held the heat over night, having yet another hot sleepless night, although we are going to need to purchase another two for the house due to the size and the way the roof is pitched, I’m also going to be purchasing another three for the shed, I’m blown away by the performance of this little Rippa and would highly recommended this product, as I already have to everyone I’ve been in contact with already.
I can’t thank these guys enough, I purchased it on Sunday afternoon and it arrived Tuesday morning, that alone blows my mind, I can’t get something out of Melbourne over night, but I can’t get this from Queensland, delivered to my door at Baranduda (a little suburb just out of Wodonga) pretty much overnight.
It has been an absolute pleasure being able to purchase and install this product, I just can’t believe that it was installed within 48hours of making the purchase.
Well done to you guys, this is exactly how you operate a business, it’s great to see and you are setting the standard for every industry in my opinion.
I will be definitely interested to hear what my wife thinks when she gets home from work, I have no doubt she will be dreading it as she normally is due to how hot it can get, but she is in for a huge surprise that’s for sure.
Many thanks again, this has been a game changer!

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...
Other than the remote control, is there anything different than the previous model on here? It it running the same motor / noise level / solar panel?
Hi there,
Yes, same motor and solar panel. Noise level can be reduced due to remote control/speed settings.
Does this product have a warranty ?
Yes. 2 years and 10 years on the solar panel.

I had my Satking ProMax automated satellite system supplied and installed just over three years ago, and it has performed reliably for the most part.
A few months ago I encountered an issue and was pleasantly surprised by the level of after-sales support provided during the troubleshooting process. The unit was ultimately returned to Satking, where it was repaired and promptly sent back.
I’m very pleased that I chose a quality Australian product from a reputable company that clearly values its customers.

Australian summers continue to get hotter and so do our homes. A great way to make your home or business cooler in summer is to use solar roof ventilation like the SolarKing solar fan. Roof temperatures in Australia during summer often reach 50 to 70°C and the best way to reduce these high temperatures is to install the SolarKing roof fan
Many homes already wind driven “whirly birds” installed on roofs. Whirly birds rely on highs winds to produce any benefits and even then they only move around 100CBM per hour for each unit. Compare this to the SolarKing that moves 2100CBM per hour, there is no comparison.
The SolarKing solar exhaust fan uses the sun and only starts working when your roof space reaches 25°C so as not to remove warm air in the winter when it is needed to keep your house warm (whirly birds operate regardless of the temperature. When the sun disappears in the evening the SolarKing will stop ventilating but at this time the roof is now cooling naturally with the reduce temperature as the fan has been extracting during the day.
Have you ever noticed how the lower level of a 2 storey home is always cooler than the upper level? This is due to the upper storey blocking extreme heat from the lower level. The SolarKing solar roof ventilation fan does the same thing, the fan replaces the hot air inside your roof with the cooler outside air. This greatly lowers the extreme heat in your roof pushing into to your living space.
So if are looking to make a big change to your comfort levels this summer and looking to reduce the high costs of power using air conditioners, let the free power of the sun to do the work for you and use you air conditioning a great deal less.
This latest V4 Model carries all the updates from the V3 model that now has a DC power connection so you can connect the included 15V/240V Power pack so the fan can now operate after the sun goes down. The unit will switch to the optional power pack automatically and then when the solar level increases again the unit will switch back to solar operation. The unit will still turn off automatically when the temperature drops below 25 degrees. The V4 also carries the updates made to the V3, the motor now keeps a stable speed when operating on solar rather than instantly speeding up and slowing down as clouds go past. The motor still runs at max speed in full sun but won’t suddenly slow down and speed up when clouds pass. The V4 just like the V3 now has the lowest noise output and has very quiet operation.
The number of fans required depends on the volume of air in the roof space that needs to be ventilated. Roof space volume is calculated as:
Ventilation standards often recommend exchanging the air in a roof space 10-20 times per hour to effectively reduce heat and moisture buildup. For a conservative estimate, use 10 air changes per hour (ACH), which is suitable for general roof ventilation in hot climates like Australia.
Each Solarking fan extracts 2100 m³/h. Dividing the required airflow by the fan’s capacity gives us the number of fans needed:
Rounding up ensures adequate ventilation.
Reduced air conditioning use means lower energy bills

Extracts 20x more air than a whirly bird

Temperatures in Australia continue to get hotter and electricity costs continue to increase. On average, your air conditioner accounts for 40% of your total power bill during the summer months and with temperatures outside of 35 - 45 degrees, it really needs to be on for most of the day. Insulation in the walls and roof cavity will certainly help to reduce the the core temperature inside but one of the major issues is the build up of heat within the roof space and how this heat radiates through the ceiling.
A roof space in Australia can reach temperatures of between 60 and 70 degrees in the summer ! Sure, you could install a whirly bird style extraction fan and it will certainly help but these mechanical fans only operate in a breeze and their efficiency is rather poor when compared to our Solar Wall Extraction Fans and Solar Roof Extraction Fans. A whirly bird will extract on average 100 Cubic metres (CBM) or air per hour while our solar roof and wall fans will extract a massive 2100 CBM per hour. That's more than 20 times more efficient ! Furthermore, our solar extraction fans will only operate when the sun is out.
Our solar exhaust fan works by extracting the hot air from inside the roof space and pulling cooler in from the gaps in the roof, under the eaves, through the shower vents and any other vents or openings. You'll not only cool down the air inside the roof, you'll also remove moisture in the roof caused by the steam from your showers and therefore reduce the chance of timber rot in the roof space.
Typical applications for our solar ventilation fan are: Commercial buildings, offices, factories, barns, sheds, animal shelters, stables, holiday homes, residential homes, aged care facilities etc. There are so many benefits from installing our solar roof ventilation fans.
REDUCED USE OF YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
Most of set our air conditioner to around 23 degrees. In summer, for most of the day, the air conditioner will be working all day, battling to maintain this temperature. Your Solar ventilation fan will work with your air conditioner and remove all of that hot air from inside the roof space and therefore reduce the radiated heat coming from the ceiling. This will result in a cooler home and your air conditioner usage will reduce.
BETTER THAN A WHIRLYBIRD
A whirlybird will help to exhaust some of the hot air from your roof but due to the fairly low volume, during summer the air is rapidly heated up again. Our Solar ventilation exhaust fan can exhaust 20 times that amount of air and at zero cost as the motor is powered by the attached solar panel.
ROOF SPACE HEAT REDUCTION
During summer, a tin or tiled roof space can reach temperatures up to 65 degrees. Our Solar extraction fan can reduce this temperature by up to 30 degrees making your home much more comfortable to be in.
SOLAR POWERED
There are no running costs associated with our solar roof fans. The solar panel converts the solar energy to electrical energy and power the motor which drives the fan.
BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR
All of our fans are fitted with a high quality, brushless, DC motor with double shielded ball bearings that will provide years of quiet, trouble free operation and require no maintenance
