I have solar vents too. I get mildew on the deck outside as well as inside. My OB engine well is the worst area.

I also use the chemical anti-humidity crystals (in one of their vent containers in the head sink) It seems they move enough air and keep things dried out enough that we don't have the problem.

But the most dreaded task of all for me is ridding the boat of mildew. Each year I drag out the spray stuff that smells like concentrated Chlorine and you need a gas mask to breathe anywhere near by. And if you spill a drop on your clothes you can trash those when done. But this year when I was shopping for some needed hardware at my local West Marine store I noticed they had a special on their new signature product, "Pure Oceans Mildew Stain Remover". I bought a bottle. This stuff is biodegradable and contains NO Chlorine and does not smell bad or stain clothes. The real amazing part is, you spray it on and wipe off the mildew with a paper towel! This is easier than cleaning a window. Their non skid deck cleaner works almost as well. I am genially impressed. I have no connection to West Marine or these products but I wish I did.
