Something like this would do the job with a small solar panel.
Just hook it up with dryer hose.

The whirlybirds work by letting the rising warm air spin the blades.   I wonder 
if putting the intake lower in the solarium and the whirlybird highest in the 
cold house would do the same?  The house being colder would be like the 
outside?  Or does the whirlybird need a breeze blowing by to get it started?

  if you want to run duct, put a whirlybird vent outside, as long as the intake 
is in the bathroom and the duct runs through the solarium it will start 
drafting and likely pull the warm solarium air into the bathroom. similar to a 
cold smokehouse

    Cool, ( or heat ) That has me thinking the right way, could even build 
    something using one of the R refrigerants that boil much lower temps?

    I have solar there but don't want to waste power on that if I can do 
    some kind of passive pump.

    We eventually will have about 7K watts more solar there but this is just 
    to take advantage of the situation this winter to keep the house side 
    from freezing up so hard.

    This place has basically been abandoned for 10 years...
