Solar Powervent
It is a well-known fact that effective extraction of hot air from the roof cavity not only makes a house feel cooler, power loads on air conditioning are also reduced.
Skydome’s new Solar Powervent hosts a range of features including 10 or 20 watt multicrystalline silicon photovoltaic collector (10 year warrantee), mounted on top of the extraction unit. This powers the 38.2 VDC Pittman Motor located in the solid aluminum housing, protecting the motor during severe weather conditions. Powerful extraction is via a 5-wing aluminum fan blade with two options: 12 inch diametre for the 10 watt motor and 14” for the 20 watt motor.
The Skydome Solar Powervent is secured to a durable one piece seamless flashing for fixing to the roof, eliminating leaks. The flashing can be powder-coated to match most roof colours.
Once installed, and the photovoltaic cells are exposed and angled towards the sunlight. The unit will operate constantly and silently during daylight hours continuously extracting hot air from the roof cavity.
- A cooler roof means a cooler home – roof cavity temps can be 60 degrees or more in summer
- Substantially reduces power/energy consumption of air conditioning – a significant benefit with rising power prices
- The unique solar cell collector can be tilted and rotated 180 degrees in any direction (north to the summer sun). This benefit is very rare compared to other solar powered roof extraction systems
- Installation can be DIY – “Its that easy”
- Free to run thanks to the sun’s rays
- Expels hot humid air from the roof all year round
- Very powerful 10 or 20 watt motors
- 10 year guarantee
- Can be adapted to remove hot air from individual rooms
- Solar Powervent is a `cool and green’ investment for your home
Please note: like all solar powered products (such as hot water systems) the Solar Powervent operates to its maximum performance in full sunshine.
