Heat and moisture can be controlled through the installation of solar power attic vents.
These are a smart and energy efficient alternative to your traditional roof louvers that are seen in most houses.
Solar varieties collect the power that they need from the sun's rays to convert it into electricity to operate during the day when your attic is the warmest.
This energy that is created operates an extremely high efficiency motor that is inside of the power vent.
What does this mean to you? Free power! You are not paying for any electricity which saves you money and does not leave an impact on the environment, which is equally important.
Solar vents operate without waste, pollution or fuel.
Roof-Mounted Roof-mounted system feature high-quality, durable, two-piece construction that utilizes a solar panel in the collection and creation of power from the sun.
This is used to operate a 24-volt DC motor that is housed inside of the power vent.
• These units are rust -resistant, low-profile and have a galvanized steel dome.
• Solar panels mount in a separate location from the dome on the roof.
• No electrical outlet or installation is required.
• Works continuously all day from sunrise to sunset without costing you any money.
Gable-Mounted Used in conjunction with solar gable attic fans, these are really ideal.
The best thing about these solar vents is that installation is a breeze.
No electrical hookup means no calling around for the lowest prices on electricians because there is not any complicated wiring to deal with.
After the solar panel and the fan are positioned and totally secure, a simple plug from one to the other is all that is needed for operation.
These systems mount conveniently in your home's gable end behind a decorative shutter.
The solar panel typically comes with brackets so mounting on the roof is incredibly easy.
The solar panel absorbs sunlight and then turns it into power which then operates the fan.
Why You Need Solar Vents Aside from the obvious reason that solar vents will save you a significant amount of money in your cooling costs, they will also help prevent moisture damage that will require repair at a later time.
Moisture enters your attic from daily activities such as cooking, bathing and and doing laundry and unless this humidity is released, mildew, mold and dry rot can occur.
Solar panel attic vents can prevent this type of damage from happening without costing you anything.
