Questions and Answers for QuietCool 40-Watt Hybrid Solar/Electric Powered Roof Mount Attic Fan with Included Inverter for Nighttime Cooling

A:  I don’t believe you can’t since this particular fan is designed for rooftops & it doesn’t have the hardware included to install the panel vertically. The wires aren’t quick connecting either. However, they do sell vertical panels. 

A:  Yes it can

A:  These fans can defiantly be put on a roof with a ridge vent. However please note that you want the fan 3ft down from the ridge to encourage the fan to pull from below.

A:  Hello, This can be installed for greenhouses.

A:  Our Solar powered fans can work strictly of off solar power.

A:  The fan will work on its own without being plugged into an electrical outlet. The solar panel alone obviously needs sunlight to provide power to the fan, so it won't work at night or if you have an extended period of cloudy weather. That's the nice thing about the auxiliary power from an electrical outlet: no matter what the light conditions, the fan will operate whenever the temp reaches the set threshold, which I think is something like 75-80 degrees, but I'm not exactly sure of those values. Anyway, if you can provide a plug-in outlet, even with an extension cord, you will get more consistent air flow from the fan. Hope that helps.

A:  Hello Bob, The motor is rated for 15 years and comes with a 15 year motor warranty.

A:  Just a thermostat on this model.

A:  That's a good question, Our Solar products are only equipped with a thermostat. The thermostat is the control unit for the fan, (77 ºF off and 88 ºF on)

A:  Just a thermostat

A:  Thermostat only!

A:  Hello Brian, It'll do just fine during hurricanes, and if you want added security you can maybe try just angling the solar panel so that it is more flush with the roof. I've heard stories of houses collapsing and the roof mount still being intact in that portion of the house.

A:  Hello, Our Solar products whether it's plugged into the AC/DC inverter or not will only come on when the fan is over 88*F & off under 77*F. If you have any other questions please email us at info@qc-mfg.com.

A:  The fan turns on automatically when the attic temperature reaches 75 degrees. 

A:  Yes, the solar panel moves to adjust to the sun, you should not have a problem.
