Poor connection between remote solar panel and fan
My husband and I purchased and installed two solar-powered attic fans. One of the fans required a remote solar panel, which we also purchased at considerable additional expense. Imagine our surprise when we attempted to connect the Solatube solar panel to the Solatube fan and found that the electrical connection in the panel is smaller than the connection in the fan. My husband found a way to make it work by jerry-rigging the connection and securing it with electrical tape. However, we question how long it will last in the heat. We also question why a company would create a product for use in connecting to another of the company's product and cause the connection to fail. We are very disappointed in this poor craftsmanship.
That said, the fans have been in operation for a few days, and already we have noticed a considerable difference in the temperature in the house.
