"An energy efficient, well ventilated home that is warmer in winter and cooler in summer, is easily achieved with the addition of SolaMate to your family home."


Solamate simply delivers:
 
  • Low emission winter air heating
  • Low emission air cooling on summer nights
  • Improved indoor air quality with filtered fresh air
  • Creates savings by reducing the load on the existing heating and cooling systems in your home

How it Works - Winter Heating

 

The SolaMate system is an exciting new, simple technology designed to efficiently harvest solar energy to heat your home. The clever panel design requires no moving parts and is made from robust materials commonly used in building construction.

Solar radiation penetrates the top surface of the SolaMate panel where it is trapped by a triple-glazed layer and absorbed uniformly across the panel. As the air passes through the panel, the collected heat is transferred to the air stream, generating a flow of warm fresh air.

Even on cloudy and rainy days with intermittent sunshine, SolaMate responds quickly to periods of sun and thin cloud to generate warmth for your home.

The SolaMate panel is designed to integrate seamlessly with the HRV ventilation system. The heated air is fanned through a medical grade filter and ducted throughout your house.

SolaMate's set-and-forget thermostat controller ensures the maximum amount of solar energy is utilized without ever overheating.

How it Works - Summer Cooling

 

On hot summer nights, SolaMate brings fresh cool air into your house as soon as the sun goes down.

Houses can be slow to recover from the heat absorbed during the day, meaning that outside temperatures are often 5-10 �C cooler than inside.

SolaMate quickly replaces the hot indoor air with fresh cool ambient air without the need to open windows, and continuously delivers this cool fresh air into your house throughout the night.

Not only will you sleep better at night, but the air conditioning load will be significantly reduced the next day.

SolaMate's set-and-forget thermostat controller automatically detects when cooler outside air becomes available and switches off again when the morning sun kicks in.
