Solo Air Heating and Cooling Systems... Off the grid!

 Solo Air is a natural, energy efficient system that works with the environment, not against it, to produce cost effective heating and cooling all year round.

What is it?
Solo Air is not your average climate control system. We all know from our energy bills how hard a regular heater has to work in order to convert cold air to warm. So what if there was a different approach? What if there was an approach that could cost you nothing to run?

Solo Air utilises the natural, free resource of solar energy as both a method of heating and cooling. In heating mode, the system uses the sun to heat the air then recirculates this warm air throughout the building. In cooling mode, hot air is extracted out of the building. Both heating and cooling modes use solar powered fans. The installation of Solo Air can reduce usage of a conventional climate control system by up to 60%, significantly cutting those expensive energy bills! Plus, it’s environmentally friendly, with no greenhouse gas emissions.

Will Solo Air work in my building?

Solo Air can be retrofitted into existing buildings or easily incorporated into new building designs. There are two systems available: one for buildings with roof cavities and one for buildings without. Each system is also available in two sizes: Single heat collector, for areas up to 100m2; and Dual heat collector, for areas up 180m2.

The effectiveness of the system is directly linked to the amount of sunlight that can be captured. North facing pitched roofs are optimal. However, Solo Air can provide frames that allow the flexibility of installing the unit on different types of roofs. Naturally, the average amount of sunlight per day varies from season to season and state to state. Fortunately in Australia, we enjoy many hours of sunlight throughout the country, all year round.
