MaxBreeze Solar Powered Roof Ventilation

The Solar Roof Ventilator Without Equal

The MaxBreeze solar powered roof ventilator is a smart and environmentally sensible solution to help protect your home and your roof. It can even save you money by cooling your home in summer, reducing the load on your air conditioner.

Australian designed and owned by SolarBright, MaxBreeze ventilation fans demonstrate the highest standards for quality and functionality. This includes the ability to choose a model with an in-built battery charged by the sun, so that the unit can operate on hot nights or cloudy days.

They are thermostatically controlled and 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 quiet, brushless DC motor and fan to extract hot air and moisture from your roof space.

The MaxBreeze creates a more energy efficient and healthier home. During summer months the MaxBreeze roof air ventilator keeps your roof space cooler, resulting in a more comfortable home.

MaxBreeze Roof Air Ventilator Advantages

The function of a MaxBreeze solar roof ventilator is to improve air circulation in the roof cavity by removing heat and moisture build up. This results in a more energy efficient home. A roof air ventilator creates a drier and cooler roof cavity and can 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 the load on air-conditioners to help save on power bills.

Prevents Heat & Moisture Buildup in the Roof Cavity

The solar powered MaxBreeze works tirelessly on sunny days to remove heat and moisture from the roof cavity. This helps cools the home and prevent moisture buildup in the roof space.

Helps Reduce Air-Con Costs

On hot days your roof cavity can heat up to 65° and your ceilings can reach 35°. The MaxBreeze helps control this heat so your air-con does not have to work as hard to cool the home.

Thermostat Controlled

The smart MaxBreeze roof air ventilator only turns on when the cavity temperature reaches 25°. This way it only works on days when you need it.

Australian Owned & Designed

The MaxBreeze roof ventilator is Australian designed and owned by SolarBright, an Australian owned family business. The MB250 model is made in Australia.

Day & Night Roof Models

The MaxBreeze Zephyr model is a solar roof air ventilator that can function day and night. At night it is powered by a built in solar battery that is charged during the day. This helps cool your home on hot summer nights.

Quick Installation & Suits DIY

Roof Ventilation Comparison

With the hot Australian climate some form of roof air ventilation system is essential to enhance natural circulation. When many Australians consider roof vents, they automatically think of the whirlybird. The MaxBreeze roof ventilator has numerous advantages over the old wind driven whirly-bird.  Before you choose an old whirlybird style roof ventilator here are some of the main advantages of the MaxBreeze:

Brand
Model MaxBreeze Solar Roof Ventilator Whirly-Bird Wind Driven Roof Ventilation
Model 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 excess heat into 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
mounts of air.

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. This build up of heat radiates into the living space.
  2. As the temperature in the roof cavity rises the thermostat automatically turns on the MaxBreeze. The solar panel on the MaxBreeze converts sunlight to electricity to power the fan.
  3. The MazBreeze quietly extracts the hot air from the roof cavity, lowering the cavity temperature.
  4. MaxBreeze is thermostatically controlled to turn on and off automatically.
