Solar-powered Wall and Gable Ventilators
Small wall-mounted solar ventilators
Ideal for quietly injecting fresh air into, or removing stale air from rooms, and workspaces.
- This solar extraction fan looks really neat in the wall.
- Easily installed into most types of walls.
- Fitted with adjustable louvres to direct the flow.
- Can be used for injecting fresh air into a room, or for extracting stale air to the outside.
- Easily install flexible duct, if needed, with the optional ducting flange.
- Control with an on-off switch, or automatically with an adjustable thermostat.
- Runs for free, all day, every day.
Sometimes just installing a small Solar Ventilator is all that’s required, and these solar ventilator models may be the answer. Installation is a simple matter of making a hole in the wall, fitting the solar ventilator, connecting the remote solar panel (via a thermostat if needed), and it’s all ready to go. No electrician or builder is required for this, as it is extra-low voltage (24 volt DC).

Adjustable Thermostats
- Using the thermostat, you can control exactly when the Solar Ventilator will operate – only when the temperature exceeds your preset limit.
- This means that if your set temperature is exceeded during summer, the hot air is extracted from the room, but during winter the thermostat can be set to retain the heat, and help keep the house warm.
- Very simple adjustment – just turn the knob.
- Use the convenient on-off swich if needed.
- Included in each kit.
