How effective is the Solar Air Shifter?

Works all day and night

When there is sunlight, the Solar Air Shifter

works all day for free using the sun’s

energy to power the fans and at night it can

automatically switch to mains power to

continue generating the air movement.

Sun Lizard Solar Air Shifter

The Sun Lizard Solar Air Shifter is an ideal and energy efficient

way of extending the reach and effectiveness of your existing

climate control systems, irrespective of whether you use passive

solar design, active heating and air conditioning, or a

combination of these options.

If you find that you can keep your main living rooms comfortable,

but other rooms of the house are too cold in winter, and too hot

and stuffy in summer you can take the warm or cool air from one

space to up to two other rooms, equalising the temperature and

creating air flow that removes damp or mustiness.

A simple and compact design is offered as a DIY installation kit

which can also be installed by your local builder or plumber in to

an existing building or to a building under construction.

A mains powered plug pack is provided so you can continue

shifting the warm or cool air during night time when solar energy

is unavailable. It can be plugged into an existing power point for

ease of installation and without the need for an electrician.

Available Systems

The Solar Air Shifter is suitable for an area of up to 100sqm. It

is recommended to be installed in the roof cavity, but other

variations are possible. Additional room ducting kits are

available.

How Does the Solar Air Shifter Work?

The Sun Lizard Solar Air Shifter harnesses sunlight and convert

this free energy into electricity so you can shift warm or cool air

to different rooms in a building. This allows the temperature to be

distributed evenly, making the building more comfortable all year

round. The standard system comes with the following key

components:

(a) Photovoltaic Panel (PV) - generates electricity for the fans

and electronic control system

(b) Fan Box –moves the air from one room to up to two rooms

at a time.

(c) Ducting and (d) registers

(d) Electronic Control System

Moving Warm Air in Winter

Place the inlet vent of the Air Shifter either:

(a) near your existing heater or

(b) near the northern parts of your building that gets passive

solar heating

(c) upstairs in a double storey building

Place the outlet vent either:

(a) in a cooler southern part of the building

(b) in the lower floor of a double storey building

This shifts warm air to cooler parts of the building.

Moving Cool Air in Summer

Place the inlet vent of the Air Shifter either:

(a) near your existing cooling system / air conditioner or

(b) in a southern part of your building or

(c) in a room that is shaded from the sun

(d) in a cellar or under the building

Place the outlet either:

(a) in a warm northern part of your building

(b) in the upper level of a double storey building

This moves cool air to other areas which are hot. It provides

ventilation and cooling that will spread the cool air more evenly

around the building and reduce your dependence on mains

powered cooling or air-conditioning systems. A solar heat

extractor would help remove heat from the building and improve

the performance of the Solar Air Shifter.

Additional Room Ducting Kit: can be purchased to add additional inlet and outlet vents to the standard system. Examples of combinations include:

Air Shifter with two

inlets and one outlet

vent

Air Shifter with one

inlet and two outlet

vents

Air Shifter with two inlet

and two outlet vents
