Gable Mounted Solar Attic Fan-Solar Energy

A Gable Mounted Solar Attic Fan Can Save On Bills

Gable mounted solar attic fans are waving goodbye to traditional attic ventilation systems because they run on solar energy. This means no electrical or energy costs, ever again. Solar panels collect energy from the sun and convert it into natural electricity.

Because the Gable mounted solar attic fans do not run on electricity, there is also no electrical installation, which makes hooking one up a breeze.

The fan mounts in the gable end of the home and is covered by a casing for protection. Then the magic begins, the solar panel collects energy all day long from the sun and converts into free power so the fan runs all day long, free of charge to you. Think of the savings in terms of running the air conditioner and Gable mounted solar attic fans kick out about 800 cubic feet of air movement per minute.

That results in keeping your home extremely cool on hot days and it also keeps moisture out in the winter. Too much moisture can cause a lot of damage to your home.

The price of Gable mounted solar attic fans can range from about $350-$600 depending on if you buy a 10 watt or a 20 watt system. A 10 watt system can ventilate up to about 1200 sq ft and a 20 watt system can ventilate about 2,000 sq ft. These systems are very important because you will be one step closer to maintaining an energy efficient home and because ventilating your attic is very important as it gives greater longevity to the materials that your roof is made from and it saves you a bundle on air conditioning costs.

They are also wind, hail, and impact resistant. Ventilation is a very important part of home ownership. Ideally, you would like to see that your attic remains as cool and dry as possible as this is in the best interest of your home. However, attics usually become moist and hot just from regular everyday activities such as taking a shower or cooking. If your attic is hot, as most are because hot air rises, that heat from the attic is making your house much hotter than it needs to be.

A gable mounted solar attic fan needs no maintenance after the initial installation. They look great, they perform well, and they are very easy to install. Now remember that Gable mounted solar attic fans run whenever the sun is out which is normally during the hottest part of the day. This is another way that this system is designed to keep your home cooler. Depending on how and where your home sits in regards to the sun will determine exactly which system you will purchase. There are four different types to choose from according to your needs and there are also add on’s that you can buy for example, if your roof does not get a lot of direct sunlight.

The Gable mounted solar attic fans do not only operate in sunshine but the sky does have to at least be bright. They are a very wise investment for your home as well as your pocketbook.
