A smart alternative to conventional roof vents, the Solar Powered Attic Vent operates during the day and collects power from the sun to convert into electricity. In turn, this energy operates a high efficiency motor inside the power vent, so there's no added cost for electricity. That saves energy, which is better for the environment.
800 CFMs and ventilates up to 1,200 sq. ft.
Low-profile, rust resistant, galvanized steel
No electrical hook-up needed
Solar panel is mounted directly to dome
Solar panel tilts and rotates for maximum sun exposure and energy collection
Solar panel is wind, hail and impact resistant
Part of a balanced attic ventilation system for year-round airflow
Helps to fight heat and moisture buildup inside an attic as well as ice dams in cold climates
Requires intake ventilation for proper performance
Use the Home Depot online calculator to determine how many are needed for each attic
Q:How long is the cable connecting the solar panel to the fan? The fan must be on the north side of the roof (I'm replacing an old wind turbine fan) but I'd like to position the solar panel on the south side.

A:Â Yes you can, but you will have to make your own hardware. It works like a charm and I didn't have to mount the panel to the roof.

The Air Vent 800 CFM Solar Powered Attic Fan is a durable rooftop fan. I bought this one to replace the same one that had been on the roof for 10 years. I was replacing my old roof and wanted to make sure everything was updated. The old fan was still working after 10 years on the roof. I placed the solar panel on top of the new one and the moment I placed it in sun light, the fan started. The motor is quiet and handles the Southeastern storming weather with ease.

It was easy to install and works when the sun is shining on it. It does not respond to light, only direct sun. /it would have been good if it said that in the instructions. But in the afternoon it cools the attic and therefore the house.

Good, but test it before mounting.
I put this on a shed but tested it before mounting. Glad I did.
It didn't work because the inner screen was installed incorrectly from the factory and the fan blades hit the screen and wouldn't move. So, with a little adjustment of the screen mount to the fan housing bolts, it worked perfectly.
It would have been a real pain to fix it while it was mounted on the roof.
So. Check for functionality BEFORE you install it.
Otherwise, it's great so far. Looks just like the AC powered fans. Only runs with sunshine.
