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.

Final Thoughts

The SolarKing Solar Roof Fan is the ultimate solar-powered roof vent for Australians seeking a sustainable, cost-saving cooling solution. With its powerful airflow, durable build, and advanced features, it outshines competitors like whirlybirds, delivering comfort and efficiency year-round. Beat the heat, cut your bills, and go green—order your SolarKing today!

 

Estimate Roof Space Volume

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:

  • Volume = Floor Area × Roof Height Most Australian homes have a pitched roof with an average height of about 1.2 to 1.5 meters at the peak, tapering to the eaves. For simplicity, I'll use an average effective height of 1.5 meters for the roof cavity.
  • 200 m² home: Volume = 200 m² × 1.5 m = 300 cubic meters (m³)
  • 300 m² home: Volume = 300 m² × 1.5 m = 450 cubic meters (m³)

Determine Ventilation Needs

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, I’ll use 10 air changes per hour (ACH), which is suitable for general roof ventilation in hot climates like Australia.

  • 200 m² home: Required airflow = 300 m³ × 10 ACH = 3000 m³/h
  • 300 m² home: Required airflow = 450 m³ × 10 ACH = 4500 m³/h

Calculate Number of Fans

Each Solarking fan extracts 2100 m³/h. Dividing the required airflow by the fan’s capacity gives us the number of fans needed:

  • 200 m² home: 3000 m³/h ÷ 2100 m³/h ≈ 1.43 fans (round up to 2 fans)
  • 300 m² home: 4500 m³/h ÷ 2100 m³/h ≈ 2.14 fans (round up to 3 fans)

Rounding up ensures adequate ventilation.

After having whirly birds on the roof i will never go back after installing the solar king. Awesome engineering. Just had a ducted aircon installed and the guys loved working in the roof space compared to other roofs in the area it was so much cooler. Love the temperature sensor funtion. Installed myself in about 30mins on a tilled roof and bout some silicone to seal it off.

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

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • 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.

    Cheers,

    Philip

  • 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.

    Philip.

  • 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

    Cheers
    John

  • 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

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.

HOW MANY DO I NEED FOR MY HOME?

 

Estimate Roof Space Volume

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:

  • Volume = Floor Area × Roof Height Most Australian homes have a pitched roof with an average height of about 1.2 to 1.5 meters at the peak, tapering to the eaves. For simplicity, I'll use an average effective height of 1.5 meters for the roof cavity.
  • 200 m² home: Volume = 200 m² × 1.5 m = 300 cubic meters (m³)
  • 300 m² home: Volume = 300 m² × 1.5 m = 450 cubic meters (m³)

Determine Ventilation Needs

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, I’ll use 10 air changes per hour (ACH), which is suitable for general roof ventilation in hot climates like Australia.

  • 200 m² home: Required airflow = 300 m³ × 10 ACH = 3000 m³/h
  • 300 m² home: Required airflow = 450 m³ × 10 ACH = 4500 m³/h

Calculate Number of Fans

Each Solarking fan extracts 2100 m³/h. Dividing the required airflow by the fan’s capacity gives us the number of fans needed:

  • 200 m² home: 3000 m³/h ÷ 2100 m³/h ≈ 1.43 fans (round up to 2 fans)
  • 300 m² home: 4500 m³/h ÷ 2100 m³/h ≈ 2.14 fans (round up to 3 fans)

Rounding up ensures adequate ventilation.
