Solar and wind-powered residential roof ventilation
iSWIRL 300 combines a solar-powered internal fan with wind-driven rotary ventilation to extract hot and moist air from domestic roof spaces.
A solar panel on the top of iSWIRL 300 powers the internal fan in sunlight. The outer vanes rotate when wind is available. The two mechanisms help the ventilator make use of sunny, still conditions as well as breezy conditions, without relying on a mains electricity supply.
The ventilator extracts air from the cavity above the ceiling. With suitable replacement-air openings, this encourages circulation and helps release accumulated heat and damp air. Performance varies with sunlight, wind, the roof layout and the available inlet path; it should be selected as part of a complete roof ventilation design.
iSWIRL 300 is intended for domestic applications on metal and tiled roofs. A compatible existing collar may be reused where its diameter, condition and flashing are suitable. The nominated retrofit collar diameter is 306 mm. Check the installed base rather than assuming every nominal 300 mm ventilator has the same connection.

The brochure describes a solar panel that powers the internal fan during sunlight. Wind-driven ventilation operates when wind is available. Battery storage is not listed in the product brochure.
Yes. Wind-driven rotary ventilation works alongside the solar-powered fan when the respective energy source is available.
A compatible 306 mm collar can be suitable, subject to checking the collar, base and flashing condition.
No. Quantity and layout depend on roof dimensions, sunlight, wind exposure and replacement-air openings.
