Description
iSwirl is a unique and patented product that utilises BOTH wind and solar energy, to increase the efficiency of the air-extraction process. The iSwirl utilises wind force to drive the rotation of wind vanes, like a whirlybird. In addition, it utilises solar energy, captured via a photovoltaic panel that powers a 24v motor that is connected to a fan blade to extract air at a much greater volume than traditional single-powered wind ventilators. The solar panel and wind vanes are directly integrated within a moulded head and are easily attached to the roof via a collar. The product is designed to optimise sunlight energy throughout the day, and still provide for wind-driven extraction.
The product’s main advantages are:
Optimises utilization
The ventilator operates on days when there is little or no wind (compared to wind-driven ventilators), as well as on cloudy, dark days and nights when there is wind but no sun.
Maximises effectiveness
The design of the unit incorporating the solar-powered motor and fan, along with the wind vanes, maximises the upward and outward air pressure. This creates a more effective and efficient air extraction system, with each component working in harmony with the other. Testing has shown the iSwirl to be more than 30 times better than conventional whirlybirds in sunny, light wind conditions.
Built with high-quality, weather-resistant materials, iSwirl operates quietly and requires minimal maintenance, making it a reliable and cost-effective solution for year-round ventilation. Whether you’re looking to reduce cooling costs, prevent condensation, or improve overall air quality, iSwirl offers a unique and efficient way to achieve better airflow in your space.
iSwirl has been selected as an ABA100® Winner for Eco Innovation in The Australian Brand Awards 2024. The Australian Brand Award for Eco Innovation [ECO] recognises environmentally conscious products that offer point of difference from their competitors.
