Solara Bathroom Extract Fan with Heat Mover - 100 mm Diameter - Matte White

The Solara bathroom extract fan with heat mover is a multifunctional fan designed for bathrooms and other damp areas such as toilets and utility rooms. This fan is used for daily ventilation as well as for transferring excess heat to an adjacent space. Thanks to the integrated electronic thermostat, the Solara can actively move warm air—for example, from a wood stove—through a wall or floor outlet. The fan is suitable for wall and ceiling installation and is designed for use in wet rooms with an IP44 rating.

Advantages and Features

• Offers seven preset ventilation modes easily selected via an internal selector switch, allowing the fan to be tailored to various ventilation needs.
• The fan comes standard with a self-regulating humidity sensor that automatically responds to rapid increases in humidity or relative humidity above 70%.
• An integrated presence sensor detects movement and light, automatically activating the fan when the space is in use.
• The built-in purge function ensures the fan automatically runs after periods of inactivity to maintain indoor air quality.
• Thanks to the incorporated thermostat, the Solara also functions as a heat mover, automatically activating at 28°C to transfer heat, and stopping when the temperature drops to 24°C.

Performance and Practical Experience

In practice, the Solara operates with a constant base ventilation rate of 40 m³/h, ensuring continuous air renewal without disruptive noise. At low speed, the noise level is only 17 dB(A), making the fan virtually silent during normal operation. When additional ventilation is required, the fan automatically switches to a higher setting, reaching up to 95 m³/h or, depending on the selected mode, up to 110 m³/h. The self-calibrating motor automatically adjusts the speed to maintain a stable airflow and minimise cold drafts, while the maximum power consumption remains limited to 3 watts.

Installation, Maintenance and Applications

The Solara is designed for fixed installation and is connected to a 230V power supply. The fan is suitable for both wall and ceiling mounting and can be connected to Ø100 and Ø125 mm ducts. With an optional wall plate, connections up to Ø160 mm are also possible. The motor unit features a bayonet fitting, allowing easy removal for cleaning or changing the ventilation setting. For heat mover applications, the fan is mounted within a partition wall or between floors. Periodic maintenance is simple, involving cleaning the impeller and duct with a damp cloth. The open design and removable impeller contribute to long-lasting and stable performance.

The Solara combines quiet base ventilation with automatic control and the ability to transfer heat within the home. This creates a practical solution for spaces where comfort, energy efficiency, and a healthy indoor climate come together.
