MaxBreeze Solar Powered Roof Ventilation

The Solar Roof Ventilation Fan Without Equal

The Australian designed Max Breeze Solar Powered Roof Fans from SolarBright are a smart and environmentally sensible solution that can protect your home and your roof. They use free, clean solar power to extract hot air from the roof cavity and can even save you money by helping cool your home in summer.

MaxBreeze solar roof fans demonstrate the highest standards for quality and functionality including the ability to choose a model with an in-built Lithium battery charged by the sun, so that the unit can operate on hot nights or cloudy days  when required.

 

How MaxBreeze Solar Roof Fans Help Cool Your Home

The MaxBreeze solar roof fan is thermostatically controlled and the fan will turn on automatically as the roof cavity heats up. The solar panel panel on the fan produces free electricity from the sun to drive a brushless DC motor and fan to extract hot air and moisture from your roof space.

Watch the video to see how the MaxBreeze works:



 

The function of a solar roof fan is to improve air circulation in the roof cavity, reducing heat and moisture build up creating a more energy efficient and  healthier home. Solar roof fans can therefore significantly extend the life of your roof. During summer months solar roof ventilation keeps your roof space cooler, resulting in a cooler home and reducing he load on air-conditioners.

    How Does MaxBreeze Solar Roof Ventilation Work?

    The solar powered MaxBreeze solar roof ventilation fan is the smart, 21st century version of the old Whirly-Bird. The thermostat automatically controls the fan, turning it on as the roof cavity heats up.

    1 The sun beats down on your roof and heats up the enclosed roof space. On a hot day the roof cavity can heat up to 70°C. Passive vents allow some circulation but do not provide the circulation needed to force out the hot air. The build up of heat radiates into the living space.

    2 As the temperature in the roof cavity approaches 30°C the thermostat automatically turns on the MaxBreeze. The solar panel on the Maxbreeze converts sunlight to electricity to power the fan motor.

    3 The MazBreeze fan quietly extracts the hot air from the roof cavity, lowering the cavity temperature.

    4 MaxBreeze is thermostatically controlled to turn on and off automatically.

    MaxBreeze Solar Roof Ventilation VS Whirly-Bird

    MaxBreeze roof ventilation has numerous advantages over the old wind driven whirly-bird roof ventilators. Here are some of the main advantages:

     

    MaxBreeze Vs Whirly-Birds

    MaxBreeze

    Whirly-Bird

    Latest Technology

    The MaxBreeze uses new
    technology to ventilate roof
    cavities efficiently and consistently
    throughout the year.

    Whirly-birds are wind driven
    and ventilate roof cavities
    passively.

    Works When the Wind isn't Blowing

    On a stifling hot summer day
    with no breeze, the MaxBreeze
    will work quietly and efficiently to
    extract the hot air from the roof
    cavity helping cool your home.

    On a hot day with no breeze, the whirly-bird
    will not work, and your roof
    cavity will heat up to 70° pumping heat onto your home.

    Turns off Automatically
    in Cold Weather

    On a cold, windy, winter day
    because of the the thermostat,
    the MaxBreeze will not turn on,
    keeping warm air inside your roof
    cavity to help warm your home.


    On these days, the whirlybird
    will be whizzing around,
    extracting the warm air from
    the roof cavity, making your
    home colder as you turn up
    the heating.

    Moves Air Efficiently

    MaxBreeze can move over 20
    times more air than whirly-birds.

    Very inefficient at moving large
    amounts of air.
