No assembly necessary. Easy installation. Seems to be constructed well. This is my second unit. I have another that I installed several months ago and it is still working well. No complaints about the unit. Moves quite a bit of air. Quiet as well. I would have given it an excellent rating, but the Sun needs to be fairly high in the sky to start the fan. I would like to see an optional battery pac so the unit will run after the Sun has dropped below its power angle limits.

    The product worked as expected for my small shed application. It is important to note you need direct sun light for operation. A battery and thermostat would be a welcome update.

      Still working on every sunny summer day. Sun must be directly on it. Small fan moves air quietly. I did not expect large movement of air so I am happy with results. Slow steady exhaust in afternoon hot sun. When it is needed most. Plus it exhausts naturally when fan not activated.

      Easy to install. Don’t have too high of expectations, it is after all a $53 fan. Using it for a playhouse and it is quiet and has worked in mostly cloudy days . Overall, happy with the purchase so far.

      Panels need full direct sunlight to operate. Any shade or overcast stops the fan. I installed one fan each on two connex shipping containers. They seem to help.

      Fan is very little and weak. The solar panel has to be in direct sunlight for the fan to run. Also. The solar panel doesn’t charge any kind of internal battery so the panel will only ever be in direct sunlight for a very limited amount of time during the day.

      It just doesn't work. The solar panel MUST be placed facing direct sunlight. Even 20 degrees away from the sun, the fan will not work. It seems rather pointless to put this on your roof, shed, or RV unless you plan to sit there all day holding the solar panel toward the sun
