As it has been a while since the last posting i thought i had better post some comments about the winter performance of my solarventi unit. Despite some longish periods of gloomy and wet weather there has been ennough occasional sunshine to maintain a dry fresh smelling atmosphere in my farmhouse. The sun is obviously much lower in the sky now and there are a couple of trees that block the sun for part of its trajectory. The distant trees that i thought might be a problem are not! They have shed all of their leaves and the sun shines through the trees albeit at slightly lower power response from the solarventi fan unit. Nevertheless the very effective drying ability of the Solarventi is powerfully in evidence in the whole of the downstairs of the house not just the utility kitchen area.

I understand the larger Solarventi units provide substantial heating inputs into a property. I am going to investigate that as my heating bills have gone up way beyond inflation due to the rip off utility companies. Anyway i like the idea of free energy and being a green virtuous person. There is also a new solarventi device I am investigating that does both water and warm air - see http://www.solarventi.co.uk for details

Having a Solarventi has made the house much easier to heat now the cost increase is in spite of using less energy. I have also discovered that a house with a dry atmospehere is much quicker and easier to heat than one with a 'wet' atmosphere, basic physics I know, but experience of using a Solarventi drives home the lesson!
