Attic Fan is Energy Star Rated!
Solar Attic Fans — Northwest Indiana & Chicagoland
What is a Solar Attic Fan?
A solar attic fan is a roof-mounted ventilator powered entirely by sunlight. Unlike traditional attic fans that plug into your home’s electric system, a solar attic fan draws energy from a built-in solar panel, then automatically vents hot, stale air from your attic.
The fan runs automatically, pushing hot air out and drawing cooler outside air in. This exchange keeps your attic cooler and reduces heat transfer into living spaces below.
How It Works — Ventilation Powered by the Sun
- Solar-Powered Operation (Full Sun Not Needed, Even Cloudy Days Power the Fan): The fan’s solar panel generates electricity as soon as sunlight hits it — no wiring, no utility-powered electricity needed.
- Active Airflow: The fan exhausts hot air and moisture from your attic while pulling in cooler air from outside (through soffit vents or other intake points).
- Automatic Performance: The fan works hardest during peak heat — when your attic needs it most. 
Benefits of Installing a Solar Attic Fan
Cooler Attic, Cooler Home & Lower Energy Bills
A solar attic fan can lower attic temperatures by 20–50 °F, significantly reducing the amount of heat radiated down into your living spaces. This means your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard — which can translate to noticeable savings on your Electric bills, with some saving 25% and more!
Extend the Life of Your HVAC System and Roof
By reducing attic heat buildup, a solar attic fan lightens the load on your HVAC system — potentially extending its lifespan.
Additionally, better attic ventilation helps preserve roofing materials and insulation by preventing excessive heat and moisture stress.
Moisture Control — Better Air Quality & Mold Prevention
Solar attic fans help vent trapped moisture — especially useful in humid or transitional seasons. Proper ventilation reduces the risk of mold, mildew, and wood rot inside your attic.
Zero Ongoing Energy Cost & Environmentally Friendly
Because the fan runs on sunlight alone, you don’t incur any electricity cost, making it a green, cost-effective ventilation solution.

Why Choose a Quality Brand (Made-in-USA, Built to Last)
When you choose a well-built solar attic fan — like those from a long-established manufacturer — you benefit from durable construction, weather-resistant materials, and reliable performance over many years.
We install quality fans that are fully assembled and ready for roof installation — minimizing hassle and installation time.
Is a Solar Attic Fan Right for Your Home?
Roof type matters: Solar attic fans work on most traditional roofs (shingled, flat, tile, etc.). If your home already has passive vents (ridge vents, soffit vents), a solar fan can complement — not interfere — with existing ventilation.
Sun exposure: For maximum efficiency, the solar panel should receive direct sunlight — ideally on south- or west-facing roof slopes
Attic ventilation balance: Ensure your attic has proper intake vents (e.g., soffit vents) so fresh air can flow in while hot air is vented out — otherwise the fan’s effectiveness may be limited.
If you find upstairs rooms uncomfortably warm in summer, AC, electric, ComEd, Nipsco bills rising, or your attic feels like an oven — those are clear signs a solar attic fan could offer real benefits.
