Natural Light's Curb Mounted Solar Attic Fan is a simple and environmentally sensible solution to proper attic ventilation that can protect your building and save you money. Powered completely by free solar energy, this sleek and efficient vent is compact, quiet and long lasting with no maintenance. It comes in 32, 48, and 65 watt venting capacity that will cool attics up to 3,350 square feet.
Solar attic fans have an adjustable solar panel that can be directed to just the right angle to convert solar energy into DC current that runs a 5-winged fan below that sucks warm attic air out of your attic. These Curb Mounted Solar Attic Fans are designed for industrial buildings or commercial offices. NOTE: this model must be installed on a pre-built curb. For steeper roofs or gabled applications, see other models.
Unlike most attic fans made with plastic or galvanized steel housing, Natural Light's fans are built to last; they won't ever rust because almost all components, such as: housing, flashing, and blades are made of commercial grade 1100 aluminum. And they won't leak because there are no seams and everything is powder coated in gray or black satin inside and out.
To back up their claim, Natural Light offers a 25 year warranty on the solar panel, housing and the motor which is the best in the industry.
Attic ventilation is an important aspect of maintaining the structure of your home as well as saving energy. Improper attic venting can lead to moisture buildup that can cause mold growth and also cause wood rot. The key to proper attic ventilation is to create continuous air circulation throughout the attic space while preventing moisture from entering. In an ideal venting system, air should enter the attic from the eaves or soffits and escape outside at the roofs ridge.
Solar attic fans work with your existing passive vents. If you've ever been in your attic, you know just hot the space can get, especially in summer months. The sun beats down on the roof surface and heats up the stagnant air inside the attic. Building codes require homes to have a passive vent system. But, passive ventilation does not provide the pressure needed to force the air through the attic and outside. That's where a motorized fan comes in. An attic fan placed at the roofs ridge will pull air in from outside, force it to move through the entire attic space and escape through the attic vent. In summer months, a solar attic fan can reduce the temperature in an attic by up to 40ยฐF!
We've been using three residential versions on our home and garage roofs since 2005 and they have worked flawlessly. They have never leaked and they cool our attic without any additional expense. It's always surprising when a product lasts this long without problems, but that has been our experience as well as our customers.
NOTE: Discontinued Wattages: 12, 16, 24, 36, and 60 Watt models.
