Solar Attic Fan Mount Vents FAQ
Q: Does the SolarBLUE Solar Attic Fan have an on-off switch or thermostat?
Attics by design are meant to be ventilated year-round. The Solar Attic Fan has no switches or thermostat by design; it runs whenever daylight strikes the solar panel. During the winter proper ventilation helps prevent condensation from forming within the attic which would cause significant heat loss from the home if the attic insulation gets wet. A cold, dry attic is the best solution for keeping the heat in the house during the winter.

Q: Is the SolarBLUE Solar attic fan quiet?
The Solar Attic Fan runs best when the solar panel is in direct sunlight. The unit will run at a reduced speed in the shade (provided sky is bright) but if one has heavy shading for a good portion of the day an "Add-on Solar Panel" for the Solar Star is a great idea. An extra panel can be placed up to 15' (4.5m) away (possibly on the opposite side of the roof) from the main roof unit to provide better all day performance.
