Simple but effective
Solar Attic Fans are an overlooked, but simple way to reduce the cost of cooling your home, and to reduce your carbon footprint. By simply removing the excess heat from your attic, your AC system will not have to work as hard to keep your house cool. Since it is solar powered, it uses no energy, which is a win-win for you. The prices quoted on the Mfg website seem on the high side, so it will pay to shop around. There are also Gable mount Solar Attic Fans, for those of us who don't like to put holes in our roofs, and have a gable. Here is an place to go to compare, http://yourgreenamerica.com/id126.html.

And winter comes.
There is no mention of an easy switch to turn off in winter months as well as it not going on till say 11 AM when the home only starts to heat even on summer days. It does not seem to address this.

I came here looking for information on solar power. I didn't know about this fan and I will consider having one installed.
The vendor was very helpful.

Cooling solar panels
By the time we are going to have a "holy grail" for our energy needs we need to have products which actually decrese our enegy dependency . The idea of cooling device utilizing solar energy is pretty straightforward and simple. Put a solar panel on your roof and let it generate electric power that supplies a fan which in turn reduces heat and humidity in your attic. It meens less heat in your house and reduce need for AC.

solar powered attic fan
I think that a solar powered attic fan would be a good idea because it burns no fossil fuels, it creates no pollution, and it has unlimited renewable energy source.
