Clarity and true Review on Solar air heaters efficiency –

Solar heating at night – Being a sustainable thermal product which has the ability  in heating most materials in your home during the day. As a result this material heat is then absorbed by cooler room air at night, so we can safely say- Yes, it does heat your home at night. For maximum benefits of a Solarventi air collector we do recommend keeping doors and windows closed to maximise thermal absorbance. Your home is still be ventilated.   Most Solarventi homes are retaining stored generated heat (above constant ambient) for up to 48 hours when closed up.

Roof penetrations – A quality air heater has quality roof penetrations and ducting to ensure weather tightness. With that, quality ducting and a one way air check system to stop heat loss and cold entering the house when fans are not in use.

Cloudy day ventilation – A Quality designed and built solar air heater provides adequate electrical power to supply enough power to run a fan during light cloud days. This in turn supplyies continual fresh filtered air at above ambient temperature as a result of diffused UV radiation.

Night operation ventilation – Quality solar air heaters can be, mains power connected to include night cooling with clean fresh filtered air.

Solar PV ‘Versus’ Solar air heaters. – Quality solar air heaters have a greater advantage over PV energy by supplying continuous heat, continuous drying and continuous ventilation. The holistic savings are long lasting to the occupants health and lungs, by elimination of house mould, elimination of dust mites, reduction in condensation and minimal structural deterioration.

Solar installations – Once correctly understood, a quality solar air heater is installed with accuracy to get the maximum return of heat and ventilation. The key is planning, understanding of the individual components and their correct installation process. After all, it is only, ducting, three wires, a 12v fan, a controller, a solar air collector and an aluminium structural frame.

Only wall mount close to rooms!!! Quality solar air heaters can be ducted up to 12 meters using high efficiency insulated ducting and correctly placed fans. Quality fans have the ability to draw the powerful healthy air to the point most in demand for extra comfort and heating. That being the lower ground or Southern cold rooms. Whether it is roof mounted or on a separate building – it is all viable.

Only work in direct sunlight!!!  Again, quality solar air collectors/heaters are designed with the correctly sized solar pv cell which work at most angles to always give a high efficiency and return on investment. The sun is never in a ‘fixed’ position directly facing your wall.

Low priced solar air collectors -The failings in the ‘bad’ or ‘cheaper’ solar collectors are that they are bad copies of patented designed, quality solar air heaters. They use reduced quality components and reduced sized solar cells. Solar air collectors do give substantial return on investment and health benefits – but only genuine quality solar air heaters like Solarventi.

This at the end of the day leads to leaky installations, low energy output, low heat output, backdrafts, rusty parts, glazing damage and in turn – a very bad investment. The fault is not solar air collectors – it is the quality of the product purchased.

You do not save money when the products are ‘cheaper’, this is a false economy. The results shown in the tests indicate big efficiency losses and false claims by some solar air collector suppliers.
