ATTIC VENTING PROCESS
Why is solar attic ventilation necessary?
Heat builds inside an improperly vented attic
The sun beats down on the roof and heats up the enclosed attic space. Passive vents, such as soffit or gable, allow some air circulation, but do not provide the pressure needed to force out the hot air.

ATTIC VENTING PROCESS
How does it work?
A solar attic fan provides air circulation
The photovoltaic panel on the solar attic fan collects sunlight which powers the fan’s motor and provides air circulation in the attic space.

ATTIC VENTING PROCESS
How does it work?
Air circulation moves hot air out of the attic space
The increased air circulation provides the pressure needed to force out the hot air from your attic. Attic venting can cool an attic space by up to 40 degrees.

Benefits of Attic Venting
- Extends the Life of your Roof...
Reduces heat build-up on roof shingles and underlayment.
- Reduces the Load on your HVAC System...
In hot summer months, saves money on electric bills and reduces wear on the AC unit.
- Prevents Damaging Ice Damming...
In cold winter months, attic air circulation slows the snow melting on the roof and refreezing as ice at the eaves.
- Reduces Moisture Build-up in the Attic...
Excessive moisture trapped in the attic causes a variety of problems including rust, wood rot and attic insulation damage. Reducing moisture also eliminates the growth of mold and fungus which can cause respiratory problems.
- Increases Fresh Air Circulation...
Reduces vapor buildup generated by every day activities such as showering and cooking.
Designed for all types of applications
The Solar Attic fan is available in three mounting types. The roof mount and gable mount are generally for residential use (10, 20 or 30 watt). The curb mount is generally for commercial use (20 or 30 watt) but can also be installed on homes. Solar Attic Fans are powder coated and available in Black or Gray.
Adjustable Solar Panel
UMA Solar's Solar Attic Fans are designed with an exclusive adjustable bracket allowing the solar panel to be positioned at various angles for optimal solar exposure.
Maximum Air Flow
The unit was engineered to minimize obstructions in the fan housing to increase air flow. It also incorporates an angled throat to facilitate a Venturi or suction effect which increases cfm output and also reduces wear on the motor.
Solar Panel Performance
As a solar panel heats up, it becomes less efficient at converting light into energy. Our Solar Attic Fan reduces heat buildup on the solar panel by mounting it in a raised position resulting in better air circulation and better performance.
Quality Components and Sleek Design
The Solar Attic Fan is built in the U.S.A. using only the highest rated materials under rigorous quality control standards. The low-profile powder-coated unit blends seamlessly into the roof line of a home.
Easy Installation and No Maintenance
Fully operational right from the box, it installs easily, with no electrical wiring, no expensive electrician and no permits. Once installed, the unit is weather-tight and maintenance-free.
25 Year Product Warranty
Best industry warranty - 25 years on the housing, motor and solar panel!
HURRICANE TESTED & APPROVED
