When the attic overheats, it can have catastrophic effects on your home. The excess heat will lead to more work being exerted on the air conditioner for it to be able to balance the air in circulation. Besides, the extreme heat in the attic could combine with moisture leading to wood rot, mildew, rust, and mold on the roofs and other parts of the house. In addition, the rooms that are adjacent to the attic will experience extreme heat, especially during the summer, even with an air conditioner at hand.

To avoid all that, you can opt to install a solar-powered attic fan in your home. This, too, works wonders when it comes to enabling effective ventilation in the attic space. It does so while saving you on the electricity bills. It works by creating a balance between the extra hot and cooler air. The fans in the solar attic are made in such a way that they can force the extra heat out.

Solar-powered attic fans offer an effective and convenient option to cool an attic on any property.

Ventilation helps to bring an air balance in your home. Besides, it ensures that the structures in your home, especially those around the ventilation room like the roof, have a longer lifespan. Poor ventilation leads to moisture accumulation, rotting of the roof, rusting, and roof failure. Accumulation of molds and mildews in the attic could also tremendously decreases the air quality all the way to the living room.

A solar-powered attic fan works by allowing an exchange of air between the hot air in the attic and the cooler air from outside. While the hot air gets out, the venting present in the attic receives cooler air creating a balance. Because of that air exchange, the solar attic helps lower the heat in the space to up to 50 degrees. It also helps reduce the moisture content present in the attic. This lessens the effort put in by your HVAC system in ventilating the upstairs.

In fact, solar powered attic fans are so wonderfully functional that the premium fans not only work but are designed to thrive and provide missive benefits to you regardless of the weather extremes!

The brutal summer temperatures in Texas and other southern states slam your attic's weather barrier with massive doses of solar radiation that rapidly heats your attic to lethal levels of heat! That heat needs to go somewhere and your cool interior rooms are the victim as the heat works its way through your insulation. Your solar powered attic fan gracefully and silently pulls those brutal temperatures out and allows cooler air in through your soffit vents.

The other extreme is cold in the wintery norther climates. The two deadly issue you suffer in the winter are condensation inside your attic and ice damning on the outside! During the winter, even in places where is it normally warm, temperatures can fall fast. Damp air trapped inside your attic, from shower, kitchen or laundry vents dumps moisture into your attic, and then the cold air on your roof causes condensation. the condensed moisture from the air drips into your insulation and can cause packing, water damage and worst of all mold blooms. The other potential issue is ice damning, where warmer air trapped inside your attic melts the ice against your roof while the surface remains frozen in the cold. That temperature difference melts the ice and it flows up under your shingles to attack your roof causing leaks and water damage!

The Solar Star solar powered attic fan comes in two manageable main pieces, plus all the other required parts. The lower flashing & fan's main body make up the fan. Both are easy to use and position on the roof. The seamless powder coated flashing is of exceptional in every way, just holding the flashing you can feel the substantially greater thickness and strength. The fan itself is a smooth ergonomic, single seamless frame designed to be leak proof with multiple redundant safeties. The bottom and blades are thick nautical grade polymer which is vastly more weather and pest resistant. The blades and underbelly will never corrode or suffer the thermal warping that is so common with the bound and unmoving 'whirly-birds'. The direct drive on the panel means you get maximum efficiency, silence and power from the best panels money can buy.

These awesome fans are currently available in three versions. They come in 35 & 16 watt roof mounted versions, and a 16 watt interior mount version. The roof mounted versions are installed directly into your roof and expand your attic's ventilation. The interior mount version installs inside your home and adds a solar powered fan boost from the inside of your existing ventilation structures, like 'whirly-birds' and gable openings.

Best of all, the Solar Star fan is wholly manufactured in the United States.
