For renters in fully or semi-detached homes with attics, a solar attic fan can keep both living spaces and landlord-tenant relationships from heating up.
During extreme heat waves, hot air can build up in your attic, causing your home to become unbearably hot. Typically, the attic’s built-in passive vents cannot remove hot air out fast enough. They’re often little more than attic openings that rely on indoor-outdoor pressure differences to circulate hot air out.
The air conditioning units installed to meet mandatory cooling laws are then forced to work extra hard to make up the difference. And given the limits of their cooling capacity, AC units will often still fall short of achieving minimum indoor temperatures during extreme heat waves.
The need to fill this cooling gap is where the solar attic fans in iSolar Solutions’ lineup really shine.
When the sun is out, they exhaust superheated air that stratifies in the attic. In this capacity, iSolar Solutions’ solar attic fans give your home’s existing vents a much needed boost in airflow. For meaningful attic temperature reductions, the air needs to be circulated out at least 6–10 times per hour. This rate of airflow is simply impossible without mechanical help.
Our solar attic fans can drop attic temperatures by as much as 30°F (16°C). When AC units struggle to meet legally required indoor temperatures, this can help close the cooling gap. Powered solely by the sun, this added cooling is completely free.
This helps reduce AC use for tenants paying their own utilities, while helping landlords lower costs, reduce strain on cooling equipment, and save on upgrading a building’s electrical infrastructure.
On both ends of the lease, a solar attic fan literally takes a load off both parties.
Fast Installation and Minimal Disruptions
Our solar attic fans are the only retrofit-ready models on the market. You can install them in as little as 15 minutes, minimizing disruptions for tenants. An added plus for landlords is their lack of complicated wiring. There’s no need to hire an electrician – any general contractor, DIYer or handy landlord can do it themselves.
