Why Solar Attic Fans?

It is no secret that during any given summer day, most attic temperatures can actually reach temperatures well above 150 degrees F. It is for this reason, just about every home has soffit ventilation coupled with several small vents and gable and/or ridge vent ventilation. This is called passive or convection ventilation, the theory being simply "hot air rises, unfortunately, as most roofs will show, for the vast majority of us, it simply doesn't work.

Heat also expands and radiates. This is called "heat oppression". Your roof holds heat; the air in your attic holds heat. Everything in your attic holds heat. Every morning the sun comes up and the roof of every home begins to broil, and the air in your attic begins to expand, in every direction, not just up. There is no question the vents at the ridge of your home will exhaust air, but only as it is warmed to the point of expansion. In short, the convection-ventilation process actually requires heat retention to begin and maintain this inadequate ventilation process! Your roof will never be cooler then the heat load point required for convection.

We Have A Pro-Active "Holistic" Solution

Our fan is on at dawn, off at dusk, operating properly at the temperature inversion times of the day. It actually begins to exchange the air of your attic before the heat of the day. Silently, all day long, at such a rate that heat-gain and loading is all but eliminated. In addition, any wet air that may have had a chance to enter the home from the night before will be drawn out before the heat of the day. Thereby breaking the compounding effects of humidity oppression, and dramatically impacting the potentials for mold and mildew. It is not uncommon to see attic temperature drops in the summer of as much as 60 degrees, and A.C. savings of as much as 30% (results will vary), and in winter where humidity levels are highest, our diminished operation ensures a dry attic with no added cost for heat loss.

The 20 watt Super Cyclone Solar Ventilator has proven itself for over 12 years in Hawaii, less then ½ of 1% of these products has ever required service It has dramatically affected their cost of living, and in some cases actually eliminating the need for AC altogether. So much so, that the state of Hawaii has a 35% tax rebate incentive for the cost of the fan and it's installation. We believe there is no home on this planet that will not benefit from the use of this product. We'd love to have a chance to prove it.
