Do solar powered attic vent fans work well?
I live in Texas and it gets ridiculously hot in the attic. I’m trying to improve the ventilation in the attic but the problem is that in the summer the winds in my area are pretty much non-existent, I would like a powered vent fan but as I understand it the power consumption defeats any savings in cooling so a solar powered vent fan seems like the ideal solution. Has anybody had any experience with these? Can anybody recommend a brand? I live in the Dallas area.
We sell a good number of the Natural Light solar attic fans. They receive great reviews, here’s an example, “As soon as we installed our fan in Hawaii, the temperature in the attic dropped 50 degrees and since installed, we have not had to use our air conditioning unit. The bedrooms are about 10 degrees cooler now. Great product. The motor is quiet and it’s been working for three years without a hitch. … Our unit works even when it’s cloudy. It operates on UV rays!”
You can see them at http://www.altestore.com/store/Lighting-Fans/Solar-Attic-Fan/Natural-Light-SOLAR-ATTIC-FAN-W-20-Watt-Panel/p2435/ .
They are not recommended if you have a ridge vent, as they won’t provide proper air flow, but if you have gable and/or soffet vents, it works great.
