Solatube Solar Roof Ventilation is the only cyclone rated, solar-powered roof ventilation system approved under the Northern Territory Deemed to Comply Manual.
When specifying roof ventilation in a cyclonic region, a claim of being “cyclone rated” isn’t enough.
Solatube Roof ventilation has been physically tested for cyclonic conditions, providing architects, builders and roofers with documented evidence for a roof penetration designed for some of Australia’s most demanding conditions.
Why take the risk with an untested roof penetration?
Every roof ventilator becomes part of the building envelope.
In cyclonic regions, the ventilator, flashing, fixings and connection to the roof all need to perform under extreme wind pressures.
With Solar Star you get:
- Cyclone rated
- NT Deemed to Comply listed
- Purpose-designed cyclonic roof flashing
- High-performance powered ventilation
- Fewer roof penetrations than traditional wind-driven ventilation
- More available roof area for solar PV
Built for Australian Conditions
Solatube has supplied solar-powered roof ventilation into Australia for more than 20 years, including over 15 years of Northern Territory cyclone compliance.

When Cyclone Compliance Matters, Specify the Tested Solution.
A roof ventilator shouldn’t become the weak point in a cyclone-rated roof.
For projects in Darwin and cyclonic regions, specifying a ventilation system should consider more than airflow or price.
It should consider:
- Has the system been physically tested?
- Is the complete roof penetration supported by recognised documentation?
- Does the product provide measurable ventilation performance?
- Can the number of roof penetrations be reduced?
- Is the flashing designed for the roof profile?
With Solatube Solar Star, the evidence is available.
