Solar Fan
Whirlybirds v Eco Solar Vents
V
Hi, I’m Glenn and I’ve been installing roofing vents for over 10 years. The first thing to know is both the whirlybird and the solar vents will remove the Heat. On a 35 degrees day when I walk onto a roof and cut a hole, well the amount of heat that comes out is like a hair dryer, but the question is, what will works better! The whirlybird? Or the Solar vent?
There strengths! Whirlybirds will works best on a windy day and the solar vents will work best on full sun which is on the hottest days.
Whirlybird Roof Vents
Advantages for the Whirlybirds
- The Whirlybird will work 24 hours a Day and the solar ventilation will only work 10 hours per day.
- The Edmond’s Whirlybird comes with a 15 year warranty and solar vents only has a 5 year warranty.
- A Whirlybird will only cost you one third of the price as a solar vent.
- Whirlybirds don’t make any noise! Unless there 20 years old and need to be replaced.
- Whirlybirds come in a range of colours, solar vents only come in Black.
- You will save money on the cost of air conditioning.
Disadvantages with the whirlybirds
- Whirlybirds need wind to work better and remove more heat
- Only takes out 300 to 500 cmh of air (Eco solar vent will take out 2800 cmh)
- 300 s/m roof you need 3 whirlybirds but only 1 solar vent (less holes)

Solar Powered Roofing Vents

- On the hottest days when there’s no wind! Full sun! The solar ventilation works 100%
- On flat roofs with no heat convection (heat rising) the solar vent will suck the heat out.

- The Solar Fan is better value for money. Cost more but removes more heat.

Disadvantages with the solar vent
- The solar ventilation will make a little bit of noise. But the new 2020 motor has no sound.

- The Solar Fan cost 2 ,1/2 times the price
