 The solar-powered attic fan can also prevent heat
build-up. A hot attic transfers heat into living spaces, which
makes both utility bills and temperatures very high. In colder
weather, when heat builds up in an attic, it causes snow to melt and run
down at the eaves where it freezes, causing destructive ice damming.
A solution to this is The Solar Star™
Roof Mount Vent®. It pulls out hot air and
moisture from the attic and releases it to the outside. It will
reduce heat build up, reduce air conditioning costs, and prevent ice
damming.
Most houses today don't have good ventilation and
air exchange. That brings high humidity levels from everyday
activities like showers, laundry and cooking. The moisture moves
through the ceiling towards the roof where it comes in contact with the
cold structure. This causes ice and frost to form, bringing damage to
your roof structure. Also, moisture can saturate insulation and
build up fungal decay. Solar Star™
provides excellent ventilation which greatly reduces damaging
condensation, protect insulation from moisture saturation, fight mold
and fungal decay, and reduce heating costs.

Solar Star™ Roof Mount Vents® -
Your Perfect Ventilation Solution
Solar Star™ is the leader in solar-powered attic ventilation,
bringing you the most technologically-advanced, environmentally-friendly
ventilation solution that costs nothing to operate. The unit is
installed on the highest point on the roof so it can circulate
air and ventilate your attic space properly. You'll have a more
comfortable living environment in every season and weather condition.
These products are powered by a 10-watt solar panel and are built to
last.
There are three different kinds of
vents to better fit your distinct environment and roof design. One
is the low profile vent which is a sleek, subtle design
for standard roof applications. Another type is the pitched vent.
It is used in tile roofs, as well as a good alternative
for north facing roofs that require more exposure to the sun.
Solar Star™
offers an Add-on Panel®
which maximizes the sun exposure to your roof. It's a perfect
solution for east/west facing roof slopes, shadowing from trees, and
avoiding morning or afternoon shadowing from other structures. The
last is the high profile vent which is a
discreet, aerodynamic design that is great for locations with heavy
snow. It's also an option for tile roofs when "mudding in" is
preferred.
Even your pre-existing attic
vent can be converted to an eco-friendly, solar-powered vent!
Using the Solar Star™
Conversion Kit®,
several different types of already-installed passive vents can run
on solar energy. This improves the performance of the existing
vents, reduces noise when they run, and, of course, saves energy. The kit includes
a fan, 15' power cable and a solar panel. Powered by the sun, no electrical
hook-up, no electrician and no cost to operate. Any sunny
spot on the roof is good to install the attractive solar panel.

Many homes have small passive vents which mostly are not very effective in
circulating
enough air to remove heat and moisture.
Solar Star™ attic fans are
technologically advanced with a "Run by the Sun" solution for both problems.
Many electric-powered attic fans only run when attic temperatures have risen because they
rely on a thermostat to initiate them. As a result, thermostat-activated units
need more time to emit the built-up heat. Other systems use a humidistat which measures the moisture level in an attic.
This is also a problem because when the level of humidity reaches the preset activation level, condensation and moisture have already settled and cannot be
reduced. With Solar Star™,
it isn't necessary to spend money on replacing thermostats or a humidistat
because they don't rely on them. Solar Star™ works from sunup to
sundown preventing the humidity and temperature levels from ever reaching those critical activation levels. In the end, you have a properly ventilated attic that
gives your roof a longer life, lowers utility costs, and makes a comfortable living environment.
