The Solar Attic Fan is a simple and environmentally sensible solution that can save you money. Powered completely by free solar energy, this sleek and efficient vent is both compact and quiet.

The most obvious reason for attic ventilation is to lower attic space temperature during the warmer months to reduce the load on the HVAC system. 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 in the insulation. Proper ventilation evacuates 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 system.

Heavy snowfall can create ice dams that cause a roof to leak along the eaves. An ice dam forms when snow melts over a house’s heated spaces and runs down the roof, only to freeze again over the cold eaves. This ice builds up along the eaves and traps snow-melt water, which eventually flows under the shingles into the attic and causes serious damage. Also, the heavy weight of the ice that fills the rain gutters can potentially rip off the gutters (see photo). The best way to prevent ice damming is through proper attic ventilation which will minimize the thaw/freeze cycle.

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 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!

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.

Natural Light solar attic fans offer an optional special order remote solar panel which is installed away from the attic fan housing. It is used in applications where there is limited sunshine where the unit is to be installed. The remote panel is installed in a sunny area, capturing maximum amount of sunlight and therefore achieving optimal attic fan performance.

A gable fan is also available in three sizes for interior attic installation. The gable fan operates off of a remote solar panel that is installed separately on your roof or south facing side wall.
