Solar Roof Ventilation vs What’s On The Market

Power Source: Solar roof vents are powered by sunlight, ensuring consistent ​operation, whereas others rely on wind, which can be inconsistent.


Efficiency: A single solar roof vent can exceed the ventilation provided by ​other products on the market, making it more efficient in maintaining regulated ​temperatures.


Aesthetics: Solar roof vents have a flatter design and are less obtrusive, ​enhancing home aesthetics compared to other market options.


Value for Money: Solar roof vents offer better long-term value, providing ​consistent performance and potentially increasing home value by adopting ​solar technology.

Remove Winter Mould & ​Moisture With Proper Ventilation

A solar-powered roof ventilation system equalises interior and exterior ​temperatures, safeguarding your home from the worst of winter.

  • Roof ventilation removes excess humidity from showers, ​humidifiers, and dishwashers.
  • Strong airflow assists in preventing leaks and structural decay ​on your roof.
  • Steam ventilation stops damage to insulation and framing ​materials produced by moisture accumulation.
  • A quality roof ventilation fan fights weakening of internal ​structures caused by mould and fungus growth.

Roof Ventilation FAQs

Do skylights bring heat into the home?

When comparing roof ventilation systems, the first noticeable difference is the size of the unit. Larger units generally perform better as they accommodate larger components and allow greater airflow. However, it’s the combination of all components that maximises performance.

The amount of roof ventilation required depends on factors such as roof size, home design, and the climate in your area. Local building codes should also be considered. Consult a Solatube expert on 13 16 19 to determine the appropriate ventilation requirements for your home or business.

Roof ventilation is crucial for maintaining a healthy roof environment that benefits your home’s interior. It prevents issues like moisture build-up and heat damage. Proper roof ventilation, such as Solatube systems, can:

  • Prolong the lifespan of the roof
  • Improve energy efficiency
  • Offer reliable airflow
  • Contribute to a healthier home environment

The best roof ventilation system for your property depends on factors like climate, roof design, and specific needs. Solatube systems are a popular choice as they offer the perfect balance between highest performance, quiet operation, and longevity. Our Solar Star units are especially renowned for their cost-effectiveness and sustainability. They ensure reliable airflow, energy efficiency, and durability, and can be installed quickly by a Solatube expert with minimal disruption.

Fluctuating temperatures can be challenging. Solar roof vents help by expelling hot air, reducing heat build-up, and improving overall airflow, resulting in cooler air and a more comfortable home. Find out more here.

How does roof ventilation work?

Roof ventilation systems, including Solatube’s, facilitate air movement, expel hot air, and prevent moisture build-up. Our products effectively maintain roof ventilation and contribute to a healthier home environment through efficient fan systems.

Yes, Solatube roof vents offer numerous benefits, such as improved air circulation, moisture control, and reduced load on air conditioning systems which will save you money over the life of the system. They maintain a functional and healthy roof environment using clean solar energy. Our long warranty period ensures you get value for your money.

Certainly! solar roof vents, like the Solar Star ventilation system, are highly effective. They use solar power to ventilate roof spaces, prevent heat build-up, and maintain airflow. Homes need at least three air changes per hour, though five is even better. While traditional systems might require 6-8 wind vents, a single Solar Star system exceeds that level of ventilation, even on a cloudy day. With different models tailored for various structures, there’s a suitable option for every roof.

During the hottest Australian months, trapped heat inside your roof cavity can reach up to 60°C, which heats up your interior rooms. The cooling benefit of roof ventilation depends on factors such as climate, roof material, sarking, and insulation. However, Solatube solar roof ventilation systems can drastically reduce your roof cavity temperature by up to 30°C by drawing the cooler air from outside into the roof cavity which provides a much cooler environment during warmer seasons.
