The Solar Attic Fan is a simple and environmentally sensible solution that will save you money. Powered completely by free solar energy this
sleek and efficient vent is both compact and quiet. Fully operational right from the box installs easily with no electrical wiring, no expensive
electrician, and city permits. Let's not forget it's very powerful! A single 10 watt unit can fully vent up to 1,200 square feet operating at up to 850 cfms
and larger fans are available for big attics! Place it wherever you need improved circulation: attics, lofts, workshops, storage sheds, garages, and even barns.
Excess moisture trapped in your attic can cause a variety of problems from rust, rot to increased bacteria and mold counts which can have a
direct impact on your respiratory health! Passive vents have been a part of building codes for years. Soffit vents, ridge vents and louvers rely on
nature to provide sufficient air pressure and air movement. So the majority of the time your attic is stagnant and continues to build up heat and
moisture.
Lowers attic temperature which reduces the load on the HVAC System
The most obvious reason for attic ventilation is to lower attic space temperature during the
warmer months. Attic temperatures can exceed 160°F during hot summer days. Proper attic
ventilation can reduce those temperatures by up to 50°F. No matter how much insulation is in
the attic heat can still transfer into adjacent living spaces. In fact extra insulation can actually
add to temperature increases because heat is trapped within the insulation. Proper ventilation removes
this excess heat build-up. As the heat is exhausted the work load of the air conditioning system is reduced
thereby saving energy and extending the life of the air conditioning unit.
Extends the life of the roofing materials
Though asphalt shingles are designed to take the abuse of the sun for many years they are
subjected to greater temperatures when the roof decking is allowed to overheat which is just
what happens in an under ventilated attic.
Attic venting is an important aspect in maintaining a healthy energy efficient home. Proper
venting cools your roof extending the material life and reduces the load on your air
conditioning system. Attic venting also increases fresh air circulation which reduces harmful vapor
buildup generated by every day activities such as showering and cooking.
