Solar Attic Fans with Remote Thermostat Solar Exhaust Fan for home
How Solar Attic Fans Work？
The fan is equipped with a photovoltaic (PV) panel that converts sunlight directly into electricity. This renewable energy powers the fan's motor silently and without any operating cost, eliminating reliance on grid electricity.
Built-in thermal sensors automatically activate the fan when attic temperatures rise excessively or humidity levels climb. This ensures it operates only when needed, optimizing efficiency.
Once running, the fan draws hot, stagnant air out of the attic through roof or gable vents. This continuous exhaust process lowers the attic temperature, typically reducing it by up to 30–50°F during peak heat.
As hot air is expelled, fresh outdoor air is naturally drawn into the attic through soffit or lower vents. This balanced exchange improves overall ventilation, prevents moisture buildup, and reduces strain on the home's cooling systems.

Solar Attic Fan FAQs
Q1: How does a solar attic fan work, and will it reduce my home's energy costs?
A1: A solar attic fan uses a photovoltaic panel to convert sunlight into electricity, which powers a fan to exhaust hot air from your attic. By removing this trapped heat, the fan prevents it from radiating down into your living space. This makes your air conditioner work less to cool your home, which can significantly reduce your summer cooling bills by up to 30%.
Q2: Is a solar attic fan powerful enough to cool my entire attic?
A2: Yes, a properly sized solar attic fan is very effective. The key is to match the fan's power to the size of your attic. We measure fan power in CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). For a typical U.S. home, we recommend a fan that can move at least 1 CFM for every 2 square feet of attic space. Our product descriptions provide clear CFM ratings and sizing charts to help you choose the right model.
Q3: What happens on cloudy days or at night?
A3: A solar attic fan operates most effectively on sunny days when your attic is heating up the most. On cloudy days, the fan will run at a lower speed, still providing some air circulation. At night, when the attic temperature naturally drops, the fan does not need to run. It's designed to work when the heat is a problem, making it a perfectly timed and energy-free cooling solution.
Q4: Is a solar attic fan difficult to install? Can I do it myself?
A4: Installation is surprisingly straightforward for most homeowners and does not require an electrician. The fans are designed as a DIY project, typically taking just a couple of hours. Since there's no wiring to connect, you simply cut a hole in the roof, secure the fan's flashing, and seal it. Our kits come with easy-to-follow instructions and all the necessary hardware.
Q5: Will a solar attic fan damage my roof or cause leaks?
A5: When installed correctly, a solar attic fan will not cause roof damage or leaks. Our fans are designed with durable flashing that fits snugly over the roof shingles. The installation process involves sealing the flashing with roofing cement, creating a waterproof barrier. The design is similar to a standard roof vent, so it's a proven and reliable method. We provide a 25-year warranty on the solar panel and housing to give you peace of mind.
Q6: Can a solar attic fan prevent mold and mildew in my attic?
A6: Yes, one of the major benefits of a solar attic fan is improved air circulation. By continuously venting hot, humid air, the fan helps to prevent moisture buildup, which is the primary cause of mold and mildew growth. This protects your home's structural integrity and improves the overall air quality.
