Solar Attic Fans
Give Your Attic a Little Breathing Room.
Arizona summers can turn your attic into one of the hottest spaces in your home.
A solar attic fan uses the sun to move trapped heat out of your attic, helping protect your roof, support your insulation, and reduce strain on your AC.
THINK IT’S HOT OUTSIDE?
160°F
That’s how hot an attic can get during the summer in Arizona
A Solar Attic Fan helps move that heat outside.
What's A Solar Attic Fan?
A solar attic fan is a ventilation system installed on your roof that uses sunlight to power itself. It works by pulling hot, trapped air out of your attic and replacing it with cooler air. This improves airflow, reduces heat buildup, and helps regulate the temperature throughout your home.
Because it runs on solar energy, it operates automatically during the the sunniest times of the day.
SUNLIGHT
The solar panel captures energy from the sun.
POWER
That energy powers the solar attic fan.
VENTILATION
The fan helps move hot air out of your attic.
