| How does the SolarVenti work from a technical point of view? |

The system is free to run and is not connected to the main electricity supply. It is supplied with electricity via a solar cell. When the sun shines it warms up the air in the absorber and the solar cell produces electricity for the ventilation fan which blows the heated air into the house.
Fresh air from outside is sucked in through a perforated back plate and a 2 mm layer of black felt. The air velocity is so low that the air warms well within the hot solar enclosure. When the system is running, air flow remains inside the panel. When the system is switched off, it cools itself down – even if there is bright sunshine. The heat rises inside the solar enclosure and exits via the felt and the back plate at the top. |
