I installed one from Forest Wind, around RM1.4k (can’t remember exactly). The DC motor died after about 1.5 years, but they honoured the warranty and came to replace the faulty motor.
Not sure if I was just unlucky, they told me it normally lasts around 8 years+. It does improve ventilation a bit, but honestly, if you have the budget and time, I would recommend spending on proper thermal insulation instead. That gives a much better result overall

QUOTE(dudester @ Nov 20 2025, 11:36 AM) Thanks for valuable feedback. How many Watt is your model? I saw they have range from 10 - 60 Solar watt . Proper themal insulation as in roof linings and stuff? I am more targeting expelling hot air trapped in between ceiling and roof. I may drive moisture from toilets to ceiling with ceiling ventilators like Khind / Airgard. 30W yes, roof lining In that case the solar ventilator should be quite useful Try to get a model that has a power cable or battery, so it can run at night as well The heat and humidity trapped in the roof during the day will still remain at night, so you might still feeling uncomfortable at night
