Cold Sunny Day - August (Figure 1)

On a typical cold but sunny day in Victoria, the maximum outside temperature reached just 14 ºC, however SolaMate was able to deliver warm air from sunrise to sunset, peaking as high as 33 ºC. The occupants were warm during the day and their home retained the heat well into the evening.

The heat delivered by SolaMate to this house was the equivalent of running a large electric heater on full power for 9 hours, peaking at more than 3 kW and delivering over 20 kWh for the day.

Cloudy and Rainy Day - September (Figure 2)

On this rainy day, SolaMate responded instantly to the intermittent periods of sunshine. Even when cloud layers were present, Ultra Violet and near Infra Red rays penetrated through and were absorbed by the panel. This solar radiation was harnessed rapidly and warm air was delivered to the house.

Summer Night Cooling (Figure 3)

During this summer heat wave SolaMate brought cooler outside air into the house as soon as the sun went down and continued to do so all night. In this case the outside air was 5 ºC cooler than the inside temperature and with little or no breeze SolaMate was still able to circulate this air throughout the house.
