About
A Note from Peter Budd, Co-Founder
Welcome! Here is an opportunity to join homeowners, contractors, retailers, home builders and electric utility companies from coast to coast who are taking part in a comfort and energy savings revolution!
Homeowners are enjoying cooler homes, lower electricity bills, and longer-lasting roofs thanks to our new Solar Powered Attic Fan (the SPAF). And every business that’s involved in roofing, solar energy, retailing, distribution or electricity supply has an exciting role to play.
The arrival of the Solar Powered Attic Fan represents a quantum leap in simplicity and technology. It extends roof life, significantly lowers electricity bills, and makes everywhere in the house more comfortable.
We stand by its durability with our 20-year limited manufacturer’s warranty and here’s the best part—it takes just 15 minutes to get it up and running! No building permits, no complicated electrical work, and no need to cut a massive new hole in your roof!
On this site contractors can find installation instructions for different kinds of roofs, gable-end and soffit vents, and everyone can get answers to Frequently Asked Questions, the research behind the product, and a Contact Us section to get in touch if you need any assistance. You can also join us on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn
We are dedicated to innovation and finding new ways to use solar power to improve our homes and our everyday lives. The Solar Powered Attic Fan is our first major step forward in achieving this goal. And we’re just getting started. Thank you for visiting us.
Sincerely yours,
Peter Budd
