Why Solar Whirlybirds Beat Traditional Whirlybirds
Roof ventilation is vital for maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment. For years, traditional whirlybirds have been a go-to choice, but they come with limitations. Now, solar whirlybirds are changing the game, offering better performance, energy efficiency, and reliability. Among these, Solar Whiz stands out as the ultimate solution for Australian homes and businesses.
Let’s dive into why solar-powered whirlybirds like Solar Whiz are the best alternative to traditional whirlybirds.
How Traditional Whirlybirds Work
Traditional whirlybirds are designed to spin using wind power, creating airflow that ventilates your roof space. While the concept seems effective, there’s a catch—they only work well when there’s sufficient wind.
On calm days, their performance drops significantly. Worse, they typically extract only around 100 cubic metres of air per hour, which is inadequate for large spaces or harsh Australian summers.
What Sets Solar Whirlybirds Apart?
Unlike traditional whirlybirds, solar whirlybirds are powered by the sun, ensuring consistent operation regardless of wind conditions. Solar-powered whirlybirds like Solar Whiz use a solar panel to drive a powerful fan, delivering exceptional airflow.
Solar Whiz extracts up to 2300 cubic metres of air per hour, making it 23 times more effective than a typical whirlybird. Plus, its smart features, like an optional thermostat and hygrostat, allow you to control temperature and moisture levels with ease.
