Solar Powered Attic Fan
Designed to save energy and money.An installer-friendly attic ventilator that performs well in any environment. By incorporating the highest quality material coupled with a superb quality assurance program ensures the best product available on the market today.
The Solar Attic Fan is designed to save energy and money. The two main purposes for roof ventilation are to reduce the load on the HVAC system in the summer and to exhaust moisture in the winter. The solar panel mounted on the shroud of the unit converts sunlight into energy driving the fan motor, which in turn exhausts the hot/moist air out of the attic. No permits or wiring needed, no electrician required for proper installation, the Solar Attic Fan is a self-contained unit; fully operational right out of the box. The unit is capable of venting an attic space up to 1200 square feet.
- Our photo voltaic panel is specifically designed to match the power curve of the fan motor, ensuring maximum power output throughout daylight hour
- Our seamless heavy gauge spun aluminum shroud and stainless steel hardware ensure a long life in any environment.
- The patented 5 wing precision balanced aluminum blade is also designed for low noise and high cfm output.
- The specifically designed high performance DC motor incorporates the latest technology to ensure optimum power output while operating silently for your comfort.
- Our animal deterrent screen is made of expanded stainless steel to keep out even the most ingenious of critters.
- Our venturi effect flashing is precision designed for maximum air flow through and around the vent.
Maximize the exposure of the sun to the solar panel.
Many other fans have the solar panel incorporated into the fan housing, often leaving you to compromise between the best venting location and the best solar exposure direction. We have designed a mounting bracket that not only lets you align the panel to the best solar collection angle, but also allows you to mount it directly to the roof, remote from the fan itself. With CrystaLite, you can place your vent where you need it most and your panel where it will work the best.
Minimize back pressure of exhausted gases.
As the exhaust travels through the vent it can build up pressure within, making it work less efficiently. CrystaLite's engineered design minimizes all obstructions in the flashing and shroud and incorporates an angled throat to facilitate a venturi effect or suction effect to increase air flow. This design improvement not only reduced wear on the motor but increased average cfm output! Minimize the ambient temperature of the solar collector. As a solar panel heats up it becomes less efficient at converting light to energy. CrystaLite's panel mounting bracket allows for cooling air circulation around the panel and the entire fan housing is powder coated in a neutral gray to reflect heat rather than absorb it.
