Feeling the heat?Make your roof 30°C cooler.
Australia's best-performing solar roof ventilators — whisper-quiet, vermin proof and totally solar powered, with zero running costs, ever.
A SolarArk solar roof ventilator uses free energy from the sun to continuously pump hot, stale air out of your roof cavity — replacing it with cooler outside air drawn through the eaves. Traditional passive wind vents move only around 100 m³/hour on a windy day — a single SolarArk unit moves thousands, sun-up to sun-down.

No wiring, no switchboard, no electrician — the sun does all the work.
Up to 30°C Cooler
Extracts superheated air from your roof cavity all day long.

Airflow Calculator
Which model does
your roof need?
Based on the 10x air changes per hour benchmark: we multiply your roof cavity volume by ten to find the airflow your ventilator needs to move every hour.

The SolarArk Advantage
Australia's best performer.
Four reasons over 30,000 Australian homes and businesses chose SolarArk solar roof ventilation.
Cooler in Summer
SolarArk solar roof ventilators reduce roof-cavity temperatures by up to 30°C and living-room temperatures by up to 6°C — extracting the same airflow as up to 27 traditional whirlybirds.
Zero Running Costs
Being totally solar powered, our entire range operates at $0 for the whole life of the product. No wiring, no switches, no bills — just free, silent airflow whenever the sun is out.
Healthier Air
Continuous extraction reduces condensation and the likelihood of mould spores building up in your roof space — protecting the health and air quality inside your home.
Smart & Silent
A brushless DC motor and polycarbonate blades run whisper-quiet, while an adjustable digital thermostat gives precise on/off control and retains roof warmth through the colder months.
The Whirlybird Alternative
A superior alternative to whirlybirds.
Searching for whirlybirds? Here's why thousands of Australians upgrade to solar. A traditional whirlybird is a passive wind vent — it only spins when the wind blows and stops the moment the air goes still. SolarArk uses free energy from the sun to actively extract heat all day long, giving you a roof-ventilation solution that actually works.
| Feature | Whirlybird | SolarArk |
|---|---|---|
| Power source | Wind only — dead calm days do nothing | Solar powered — works whenever the sun is out |
| Airflow | ≈ 100 m³/hour on a windy day | Up to 11,220 m³/hour, continuously |
| Units to cool a warehouse | Up to 52 spinning vents | One SAV-60T does the same job |
| Extraction | Passive — relies on the weather | Active, motor-driven, sun-up to sun-down |
| Noise | Can squeak, rattle and seize over time | Whisper-quiet brushless DC motor |
| Vermin & weather | Open throat — entry point for pests | Fully vermin proof, sealed design |
| Control | None | Adjustable digital thermostat |
| Running cost | $0 — but only when it's windy | $0 — with full performance every sunny day |
