Powerful Roof Ventilation – Summer & Winter

The SolarKing Wireless Roof Fan is designed to keep air moving through your roof space throughout the year, helping manage extreme summer heat while also assisting with the removal of excess moisture and humid air that can contribute to condensation and mould.

During summer, Australian roof spaces can become extremely hot. The SolarKing Wireless Roof Fan uses its powerful 42W solar panel and 300mm 5-blade metal fan to actively extract hot air from the roof cavity at up to 2,100m³ per hour.

As hot roof-space air is extracted, replacement air can enter through available eaves, soffit vents and other roof ventilation openings, creating valuable airflow through the roof cavity.

Reducing the amount of extreme heat trapped above your ceiling can help reduce heat transfer into the living areas below and may also reduce the load on your air conditioning.

Roof Ventilation Isn't Just for Summer

During the cooler months, roof ventilation can serve a very different purpose.

Everyday activities such as showering, cooking, washing and drying clothes produce water vapour inside the home.

In some older Australian homes, bathroom exhaust fans may also discharge directly into the roof cavity. While this was permitted under previous Australian building requirements in certain circumstances, it can introduce additional moisture into the roof space.

When warm, moisture-laden air enters a cold roof cavity, it can condense on roofing, roof timbers and other cold surfaces.

If excessive moisture remains trapped and affected areas cannot adequately dry, conditions can become favourable for mould growth.

Improving airflow through the roof cavity can help exchange humid roof-space air with outside air and assist damp areas to dry.

This makes the SolarKing Wireless Roof Fan useful for much more than simply removing summer heat.

Automatic Anti-Mould Function

During normal operation, the SolarKing Wireless Roof Fan automatically operates when the roof-space temperature rises above approximately 25°C.

When the temperature falls below 25°C, normal temperature-controlled operation stops so the fan isn't unnecessarily removing warmer roof-space air throughout winter.

However, the SolarKing Wireless Roof Fan also includes an automatic Anti-Mould Function.

During cooler conditions, the fan automatically operates once per day for approximately 15 minutes to provide a period of powered ventilation through the roof cavity.

This helps maintain air movement during the cooler months when normal summer heat extraction isn't required.

Why Air Movement Matters

Mould needs moisture.

Roof ventilation doesn't remove existing mould and cannot guarantee that mould will never occur, but improving airflow can help manage one of the conditions that allows mould to develop – persistent excess moisture.

When operating, the SolarKing Wireless Roof Fan actively extracts air from the roof cavity.

With adequate replacement-air openings, this encourages outside air to move through the roof space while humid air is extracted.

Improved roof-space airflow can help:

• Remove extreme summer heat

• Exchange stale roof-space air

• Remove excess humid air

• Assist damp areas of the roof cavity to dry

• Reduce condensation build-up

• Reduce conditions favourable to mould growth

• Reduce prolonged moisture exposure to roof timbers and insulation

For relatively sealed roof cavities, additional eave or soffit vents may be worth considering to provide sufficient replacement air.

Take Control with the Wireless Remote

Sometimes you may want additional roof ventilation regardless of the roof temperature.

The supplied wireless remote gives you control over the SolarKing Wireless Roof Fan and allows you to:

• Turn the fan on and off

• Select from four fan speeds

• Override the normal 25°C temperature control

• Set 1, 2, 4 or 8-hour timers

• Operate the fan during cooler conditions when sufficient power is available

This provides considerably more control than a conventional passive roof ventilator.

Ventilation After Sunset

Many Australian households shower in the evening, particularly during winter when there may be little or no solar energy available.

The SolarKing Wireless Roof Fan can also be used with its power supply (optional extra) to provide an additional source of power when solar energy is unavailable.

This gives you the ability to operate the roof fan after sunset when required.

For homes where evening showers or other activities are introducing significant amounts of moisture, this additional operating flexibility can be particularly useful.

Summer Heat. Winter Moisture.

Most people initially consider installing a roof fan because their roof becomes extremely hot during summer.

But a well-ventilated roof can provide benefits throughout the year.

During Summer

The SolarKing Wireless Roof Fan actively extracts extremely hot roof-space air and encourages replacement air to enter the roof cavity.

During Cooler Months

The automatic Anti-Mould Function provides a daily period of powered ventilation to help maintain air movement through the roof space.

When Additional Ventilation Is Required

The included wireless remote and power supply (optional extra) give you additional control over when and how the fan operates.

Help Your Roof Space Breathe

Good roof ventilation isn't simply about installing a fan on top of your roof.

It's about creating airflow through the roof cavity.

Outside air enters through eaves or other lower ventilation openings → air moves through the roof cavity → hot or moisture-laden air is extracted by the SolarKing Wireless Roof Fan.

For homes experiencing condensation or excessive roof-space moisture, the source of that moisture should also be investigated.

Roof leaks should be repaired, and where practical, bathroom, laundry and other exhaust systems should discharge moisture outdoors rather than into the roof cavity.

The SolarKing Wireless Roof Fan can then do what it is designed to do – actively ventilate the roof space itself.

A Genuine Year-Round Roof Ventilation System

The SolarKing Wireless Roof Fan isn't simply a solar fan for hot summer days.

It combines powerful solar-powered roof ventilation with automatic temperature control, wireless operation and a dedicated Anti-Mould Function to provide useful roof-space ventilation throughout the year.
