Solar Attic Fans 101
Notice how hot it gets in the afternoon in your home?
This is because heat is building in your attic to Unbelievable temperatures
and heating you home with radiant heat from above.
Your home builder put the minimum required venting by code...
I can assure you that this is not enough! Just go up in your attic on a hot day!
Is attic heat destroying your home?
Unfortunately, attic heat is a common home problem many people are unaware of that can result in major home repair costs. A solar powered attic fan is an easy, cost-effective solution, which can save homeowners thousands of dollars, money which might have been spent repairing or replacing a roof damaged by attic heat and hundreds of dollars a year on their cooling cost.
Proper venting cools your roof, extending its life expectancy, while also reducing the load on your air conditioning system. Attic venting also increase fresh air circulation which reduces vapor build up, generated by every day activities like showering and cooking. Excess moisture trapped in your attic can cause a variety of problems from rust and rot to increased bacteria and mold counts, which can have a direct impact on your respiratory health. While passive vents have been a part of building codes for years, to really obtain the full benefits of venting, soffit vents, ridge vents and louvers are necessary and rely on nature to provide sufficient air pressure and air movement. Without an attic fan, the majority of the time your attic is stagnant and continues to build up damaging heat and moisture.
An environmentally friendly solution....The Solar Attic Vent, is a simple and environmentally friendly, sensible solution that can protect your home and 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, it installs easily with no electrical wiring, no expensive electrician and no permits. This powerful unit operates at 850 cfm (cubic feet per minute air flow), allowing a single unit to fully vent up to 1,200 square feet. Place it wherever you need improved circulation: attics, lofts, workshops, storage sheds, garages, even barns. Benefits
- Back pressure of exhausted gasses.
As the exhaust travels through the vent, it can build up pressure within, making it work less effectively. The fans' design minimizes obstructions in the flashing and shroud and incorporates and angled throat to facilitate the "venturi effect", which is scientifically proven to increase air flow. This improvement increases cfm output and also reduce wear on the motor.
- Sun exposure on the solar panel.
Other fans incorporate the solar panel into the fan housing, forcing you to compromise between optimal venting and optimal solar exposure. Our exclusive bracket allows you to mount the panel at the best collection angle and position it either on the fan housing itself, or directly on the roof. Therefore, you can place your vent where it is needed most, while positioning the solar panel where it will work the best.
- Engineered to be the best.
As a solar panel heats up, it becomes less efficient at converting sunlight into energy. Our high quality attic fan reduces heat two ways: by powder coating the fan housing a natural gray, reducing heat absorption by the housing, and by mounting the solar panel in a raised bracket promoting cooling air circulation.
- Exclusive adjustable high quality BP Solar Brand 10 Watt solar panel ensures maximum power output on any roof. You are not limited to the angle of your roof. Seamless spun thick aluminum cover and Flashing (not sheet metal like the knock-offs) provides extra durability in harsh environments (no plastic here!). 5-Wing precision balanced aluminum blade pitched for highest cfm output. High performance Pittman Sealed DC motor operates silently. Stainless steel mesh screen keeps out birds \ rodents.
- "Venturi effect" flashing is precision designed for maximum airflow.
