Technology
Power and performance
Solar Star Attic Fans unite advanced solar technologies with progressive designs to deliver exceptional power and performance. The result is a ventilation system that efficiently vents heat and moisture from your attic that, when trapped, can damage your home and drive up energy costs. Your attic stays cool and dry, giving you greater comfort and prolonging the life of your roof, all while saving energy and lowering your utility bills.
Solar Panels
- Advanced 10- or 22-watt photovoltaic solar panel provides maximum energy capture
- Durable panel resists damage from hail, wind and foreign objects
High Performance Motor
- Brushless DC motor produces increased efficiency and reliability
- Progressive design reduces noise for whisper-quiet operation
Venturi Design
- Specialized body design maximizes air flow for greater airflow capacity
- Engineered to enhance lifetime of fan
Fan Blades
- Five-wing, polymeric blades are non-corrosive and minimize vibration for quiet operation
- Lightweight design reduces motor resistance for increased per formance and reliability
Summer means longer days, more sun, and warmer temperatures. If heat isn't vented from your attic properly, it builds up and causes problems in your home:
- Living spaces become hot and uncomfortable
- Air conditioning units work harder to keep rooms cool
- Utility costs rise due to in creased energy demand
- Roof structures and materials deteriorate
A Solar Star Attic Fan solves these problems by removing excess heat from your home, giving you a more comfortable interior and lower energy bills.
With winter comes ice, snow, and cold temperatures. When coupled with excess humidity from showers, humidifiers, and dishwashers, it can lead to:
- Leaks and structural decay triggered by ice buildup on your roof
- Damage to insulation and framing materials produced by moisture accumulation
- Weakening of internal struc tures caused by mold and fungus growth
A Solar Star Attic Fan prevents these issues by equalizing interior and exterior temperatures, safeguarding your home from the worst of winter.
