Arrived very quickly and has performed as description. Will now install a larger grill in ceiling to draw more heat from the hottest area of the upstairs rooms.
I did receive the dc adapter but no remote to turn on??? So must assume i need to connect to a direct power switch on the wall
This would be one of the best things I have bought this year. I bought it for my hothouse and it has reduced the temperatures on average by 12 degrees. the service from them was excellent. Highly recommend them to any intending purchaser of their solar king fan.
All went well with instructions and installation, great product
Awesome product, highly recommend, also super fast postage from satplus. Definitely recommend

Hi. I have cathedral ceilings and no roof cavity, just an 80mm insulation filled space between the roof tin and the interior lining boards of the ceiling. Could I use this product to remove heat from inside the house and is there a vent cover designed for the ceiling inside my house where it will be visible? Thanks
Hi Tammy,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I wouldn't suggest installing on your cathedral roof as it would be too noisy and too powerful. Id suggest a smaller version perhaps 150mm with an on and off switch. You may need to search for this online. Try Pre Ventilation in Victoria.
Cheers
John
Hi, Is the vent fan cyclone rated? Cheers,
Hi there, no it isn't cyclone rated. Cheers
John
Hi, just wondering if there is the option for an on/off switch?
Hi Rhys,
There isn't one included but you could easily install a switch on the positive cable coming from the solar panel and run this down to a switch and back up again.
Regards
John
Hello. What would a typical install fee be? Are roofing companies the people to contact or solar installers?
Hi there,
We would suggest a roof plumber to install the roof fans.
Cheers,
John
Hi, Looking at replacing a whirly bird exhaust fan with you solar type, I need to know the hole diameter required on a corrugated metal roof Thanks Dave
Hi Dave,
The fan requires a 320mm hole, ensuring it's installed at the peak of the roof so the flashing of the solar fan is tucked under the roof capping.
Regards
John
Is there a battery backup system for dull days? Or is there a kit to connect to mains for those times? Can you vary the temp for cut in to below the 25degrees? eg 22? I was thinking 2 of these for a 100m2 warehouse with a 6 m high roof - does that sound right?
Hi Peter,
Solarking do not offer a battery backup at this stage or mains connection and the temp sensor is a fixed type, not adjustable. The fan will still operate at lower speeds even on dull days so this might just be enough to exhaust the shed to make it more comfortable. Two fans is definitely ample.
Regards
John
nice looking product. warranty?
Hi there. Yes they work very well. 2 year warranty on the fan and 10 year warranty on the solar panel output.
What Adhesive/Sealant do you recommend for attaching a satellite mounting plate to the top of a caravan.
Hi Paul,
The installer that does work for us uses Sikaflex Marine on all his jobs.

looking at installing on colour bond shed 6 x4m. We live in Qld and wanting to store belongings in shed. Concerned about temperature the shed gets to during summer. Do you think this product will achieve the results we are looking for? Thanks
Hi there, the fan will definitely keep the hot, humid air out of the shed. You would have to fit a vent of around 300mm on the side of the shed to allow the fan to draw in fresh air to replace the exhausted air.
Kind Regards
John
Are these BAL rated?
Hi,
The fans are currently not BAL rated. However, I have recently been told by Solarking that they are working on a modification so that they can be certified.
Feel free to give them a call. 03 9553 3399 as they would have the most up to date information.

Hi there, My roof has a very low pitch and there's an issue with condensation, do you believe this may help with the condensation issues/removing excess moisture? Thanks, Angie
Hi Angie,
The fan will always help with moisture removal. It is hard for me to comment on your particular situation but with the large volume of air the fans extract it will always remove moistute to some degree. If you need it to run all the time (without sunlight and/or under 25 degrees) you can purchase the plug pack and unclip the temperature sensor from the motor.
Regards,
Philip
Hi is there any way to bypass the temperature cut off control so fan will ran if its colder than 24 degrees I want it to run any time the sun is out so got air flow through my shed t
Hi Tony,
Yes, if you unplug the sensor from the motor it will run at any temperature. If you add the DC plug pack it will then run 24-hours a day.
Regards,
Philip
I have a 40ft container with a fitting for a 12 inch whirlybird. I would prefer to put a solar fan onto it so I can increase the airflow through the container to help prevent condensation rain on the inside. Could you advise the O.D. that your fans are meant to fit over? Cheers
Hi Brett,
The OD of the fan is 300mm so you need a hole of 320mm so that it fits. Satking advise installing at either end of the container. Plenty of peope have successfully used them for containers but the installation needs to be thorough to ensure they don't cause a leak.
Regards,
Philip
I have a 7 x 4.5m shed with skillion roof (no seperate roof cavity) that is 2.8m (at highest point). Will this unit be too big or too noisy? In addition, can the fan be wired up to a 12v power supply (direct from battery in an off grid system) Thank you
Hi Col,
It is difficult for me to say if you'd find it noisy as that's very subjective.
All I can say is that the new motors are quiet and you can run the units through the supplied resistor for half speed and therefore a quieter operation if required.
They do move a lot of air so there has to be a certain amount of noise.
You would be fine running off 12V. You need is a 2.5mm DC plus to go into the fan.
Regards.
Philip
Hi, When will the power cord connection for the DC compatible unit be available? Also, if connected to DC, will it still work on Solar automatically or DC needs to be disconnected first?
Hi Vinny,
I have the power supplies in the VIC store. Give me a call if you need one. 03 9772 8318.
The unit always defaults to solar if there is sunlight. It will only run on the external DC when the panel isn't powering the unit. If you want it to run all the time there is no need to disconnect the DC.
Regards,
Philip
Hi, I am looking to order 4 of these but I don't want to use it with DC to keep my energy bills low. I do want something working at night though, so I am also getting some whirlybirds installed. My question is, do you have models without the new DC option or will this model still work fine without connecting the DC? Or is there an on/off switch for the DC that I could just always have switched to off?
Hi Ali,
The DC input is optional. You do not need to connect it. If you don't, the unit will still run off the panel in sunlight.
Regards,
Philip.
Hi, I know you say that these can be installed on a flat roof with the flashing provided, just to be sure, does that include Clip-Lock? Cheers Mark
Hi Mark,
For a flat metal roof, I would advise that you get in a roof plumber. Pitched is fine as you can install under the capping but something may need to be fabricated for a flat roof.
Regards,
Philip
I have a shed with a skillion roof (corrugated iron), is the Solar King Roof vent still suitable? Would it be best placed under the capping on the highest side of the roof? Thanks in advance
Hi,
Yes, under the capping is the correct installation point for a tin roof.
Cheers,
Philip
I intend in installing two of these on my roof (tiled). My question is, should I install under eave vents as well?
Hi Pablo,
Yes you should. The more venting, the better the fans reduce the roof space temperature.
A good tip is to install a vent away from where the fan is installed, this allows more, cooler outside air to flow through the roof space.
Regards,
Philip
How easy is installation on a tiled roof and is there any chance of a video showing it?
Hi Luke, installation is pretty easy on a tiled roof. Remove one tile from the 3rd or 4th row down and slip the flashing in under the tiles above and silicon down the sides. Then the main body is affixed to the flashing.
I couldn't find much on Youtube for you but have a look at this link - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=solarking+roof+fan+installation

I just purchased one and now find out it’s not going to be enough to extract the hot air in our ceiling..Why ? Because it should be advertised the square meters what one unit will do..I found out when I opened the package!,, Can you explain about this. Thanks
Hi Kevin, Not sure that you read our advertisement on the specifications of the fan. We do make it very clear. On our website:
https://www.satplus.com.au/products/solar-roof-ventilation-fan?variant=1717380743193
These solar powered roof ventilation fans vs a whirlybird are 21 times more effective due to the powerful, brushless DC motor and high output fan.
Whirly birds can only exhaust around 100CBM (Cubic Metres) of air per hour while the SolarKing 320MM solar fan can pump 2100CBM of air per hour, more than 20x the air movement.
So, work out the m3 in your roof and purchase the number of fans necessary. For most homes, 1 is enough. If you have only purchased one and feel you need another, simply purchase one from our website.
Regards
John

An excellent product delivered promptly. Solved my problem of having 2 untidy cables running from the rear of my caravan to the front. Now there is 1 cable which is easy to put away.
Trust me when I say this fan is way better than others on the market. I’ve tried most of them now on sheds and different houses and nothing comes close to this one. I have 11ft ceilings, and I have it on max speed 6am-9pm. You can hear it, but the noise is minimal and worth it when you have a good 3-5 degree drop compared to before. Worth the buy!

This solar powered roof fan extraction ventilation roof fan is an absolute necessity due to today's rising temperatures and electricity costs.
Have you ever noticed how the lower storey of a 2 storey house is much cooler than other parts of the house? This is in part due to the ceiling directly above, blocking the extreme heat from the lower level. The SolarKing Solar Roof ventilation fan does the same job, by replacing the hot air in your roof space in summer with the cooler outside air. This makes a big difference to your indoor comfort level. Australian summer temperatures inside your roof can often reach between 50°C to 70°C, with much of this heat radiated into your living space.
Whirly birds can only exhaust around 100CBM (Cubic Metres) of air per hour while the SolarKing 320MM solar fan can pump 2100CBM of air per hour, more than 20x the air movement. This makes the SolarKing far more effective keeping your home or business cooler. You can even use multiple solar roof fans on larger or two storey homes. The SolarKing 320MM solar fan can be easily mounted on either tile, Colorbond or flat roofs. The unit also has an adjustable tilt solar panel for use on non north facing roofs or flat roofs. The SolarKing exhaust fan consumes free solar energy, which means no running cost ever. Also by reducing your roof temperature, your reliance on your air conditioning will reduce and lower your energy bills. The SolarKing exhaust fan can be self-installed or you can use a local installer to do the job for you. For tiled roof installations, only 1 tile needs to be removed and for Colorbond roofs, just a 300mm opening needs to be cut.
The brushless DC motor provides long life, quiet operation and high efficiency.

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
