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.

    Purchased 2021. Broken 2023.
    I don't think this thing truly ever helped with cooling the attic even when it worked. A plug in box fan moves more air. I figured maybe since my home gets so much sun, the act of it running constantly would be what made up the difference. No such luck though.

      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.

            I purchased my solar vent with some sceptasicm after reading the few reviews. It took me some time to get the roof ready and the weather to cooperate. But with a little triming of the old hole it went right in. I ran the wires under the shingles and put the panel a few feet away. I finished the instal just about dark and did not hear the fan running. The next day I took the second fan out to test in incase it didn't work. I had to look at the fan blade to see if it was turning it was so quiet. I installed it the same way but on the other side of the ridge on older shingles. It pays to check for hidden nails. With a little tar and putting the nails back, it looked as good as the one on the new shingles. I did check the first one to see if it was running. Although I could not hear it, I could feel the warm air coming out. It was a great purchase.

            hooked it up and it did not start the fan motor. Going back to the store as soon as I can fight my way through the masses.
