User questions & answers

Question:	How do i get the free thermostat
Answer:	What? There’s a free thermostat?
Question:	do you have to fill the gap when installing fan in gable vent? video showed using cardboard to fill gap at top
Answer:	Yes, I had to build a frame to hold mine exactly in the center where I wanted it. I cut plywood to nail and fill gaps to prevent pollen and debris from flying in through the sides since it only runs on full sun. One cloud and it turns off!😕 I will eventually switch it to the other side of attic to just circulate the air. Will replace it with a fan that runs 24/7 to prevent pollen and dust coming into attic.
Question:	can it be used in a greenhouse
Answer:	I'm using it in a solar wood kiln, I'm assuming that the conditions are similar enough to say yes. Had a sunny but frigid day with a high of 5 degrees, the fan worked fine. The temperature inside the kiln in summer reached above 110 degrees, it still worked well. Humidity and temperature don't seem to affect the performance of the fan whatsoever.
Question:	Our cottage's roof faces east in the am and west in the pm. so my question is can we install a panel on each side of the peak
Answer:	Yes you can

User questions & answers

Question:	Are the solar panels tiltable or is the panel fixed ? I have a sloped roof
Answer:	Don’t know for sure, but Idoubt it.
Question:	How easy is this to install
Answer:	I ordered the purple ink and mine do not have a Japanese label on them and only English writing. I have them in every color and tip size. They are my favorite pens, even the needle tip .5. I normally like the .7 tip.
Question:	what does lifetime limited warranty mean for this product
Answer:	Yes it is the entire box which consists of 12 tubes
Question:	Can the fan be mounted on the side of a structure instead of on top
Answer:	Follow-up to my previous post suggesting that people file a claim based on not receiving the "entire order" (12 tubes, as advertised): Within hours of my claim request (as stated in previous post), I received an e-mail from the seller that said: "Unfortunately, we have been merged with another listing with the incorrect information. Our listing is intended for a single tube. We have went ahead and issued a full refund for your order. Item is not required to be returned." The only thing I can say is, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease"!! Good luck! Here is the Amazon link to the item & particular seller that I am referring to: http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Super-Hi-Polymer-Refills-C505-HB/dp/B001HA5SYK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1445624064&sr=8-3&keywords=Pentel+Super+Hi-Polymer+Lead+Refills%2C+0.5mm%2C+HB%2C+Black%2C+12+Tubes+with+12+Leads+per+Tube+%28C505-HB%29

Product description

Trapped heat and moisture in one's attic not only diminishes the comfort of one's home environment, but they also reduce the life expectancy of your entire roof. This product is an ideal ventilation choice for your home, garage, storage shed, garden shed, utility shed, greenhouse and even your dog house. CONTENTS INCLUDE: The Solar RoofBlaster Fan (patent-pending) comes pre-installed on a black 8" metal RVO38 roof vent with flashing (17"x17"). A 3W solar panel will be attached to the top of the vent hood by four unique, stainless steel clips and is wired to a two-ball bearing, 2700rpm, 39cfm fan that is rated for 50,000 hours. Unlike the plastic vents of many other products on the market, this metal vent is designed to last on a lifetime roof. Plastic will fade and become brittle over time especially on top of a hot roof.

INSTALLATION: Install the vent as you would any roof vent -- remembering to always vent to code. This product does not allow you to install less vents. Its benefit is to boost the effectiveness of your passive roof ventilation system with the power of the sun!



HOW MANY FANS SHOULD I ORDER FOR MY ROOF?

We recommend one for every 600 sf of roof area. A typical home (1200sf) would take 3-5 vents. It is crucial that a home's attic is ventilated uniformly across the entire attic space. That is why most homes have numerous passive vents or ridge venting installed. The idea is that cool air will come in from the eave's soffit vents and run along the entire roof deck to escape at the top through the passive vents. This uniform air movement helps keep your roof's deck (the plywood, the trusses, and the rafters) dry and moisture free. It also helps keep your insulation's r-value from decreasing due to condensation dripping down from the roof deck.



DOES THIS FAN INCLUDE A THERMOSTAT OR ON/OFF SWITCH?

No, not needed. Ideally, the fan should run in summer, to remove excessive heat, and winter, to remove moisture due to condensation.

• Solar-powered roof and attic ventilation fan
• Panel: 3W solar panel
• Fan: 2 ball bearing; 2700rpm; 39cfm; rated for 50,000hr
• Base Metal Flashing: 16.5"x16.5"
• No attic access required to install

User questions & answers

Answer:	Yes, they have a protective cover.
Question:	How loud is it? Is it good for my attic guest room
Answer:	5 pens
Question:	How long do the solar panels last? Will it still vent if fan no longer works
Answer:	When I ordered they were all same size

Product features

Does it have a turn off switch so I can switch it off during the winter months?

There is no need to ever turn these fans off because you want air movement as much as possible throughout the day ALL YEAR LONG. During the winter months, you want to protect your insulation’s R-Value (its loftiness) as much as possible. Proper ventilation, especially during the winter months where condensation will form on the underside of your roof deck, is very critical as well.

Just remember, the ideal temperature inside your attic is the same ambient temperature as outside your home. If your attic space is the same temperature as the outside, no condensation will form. That’s why a soda can doesn’t form condensation when it is inside your fridge. It’s when you bring it out and there is a difference in temperature that the soda can starts to sweat. Proper ventilation in your attic space will help mitigate condensation from forming in your attic and it will help keep your insulation’s loftiness and effectiveness at its highest performance.

Does it have a thermostat?

There is absolutely no reason to add a thermostat to our vent fans. You want them working any time the sun hits the solar panel! Remember, you want the temperature inside your attic to match the outside temperature. So your vents need to be working 24/7.

Why are metal vents better?

As you read above, your roof can get upward of 190 degrees on the surface. Metal vents will last a lifetime on a roof. The same cannot be said about plastic vents. As a roofer, it is never surprising when we see cracked and brittle plastic vents on a roof. We have always used metal vents on all of our roofing jobs. So when Solar Blaster was born, there was no question about using the same metal vents we’d been installing on roofs for over a quarter century as the basis for our solar solution.

What size is the fan?

The fan itself is NOT large (we have the specs listed on this page). Most of our vents have 50 square inches of open venting. Our fans are intentionally small so they do NOT cover much space inside the vent’s shaft as we still need these hybrid passive vents to do their job when the sun isn’t shining.

Features

• Solar-powered fan vent that ventilates a home's attic, shed or garage
• Helps remove hot, moist air faster than a passive vent alone
• Helps promotes uniform air movement throughout the vented space
• Helps minimize mold/mildew growth
• Helps prevent moist wood that can lead to rot and pest infestations
• Improves your living space by removing the hot, oven-like temperatures in a home's attic
• Makes a shed or garage into a cooler work environment
• Improves the air quality in sheds and other work spaces by promoting fresh air movement
• Prevents tools from rusting in sheds and garages because moist air is being removed
• Easily installation (install it just like any other roof vent)

More Features

• 8" diameter vent with 50.265 sq inch of net free vent area
• 25 year-rated solar panel (3 Watt)
• 50,000 hour-rated fan (15 years at 9 hrs/day)
• 2700 rpm/39 cfm two-ball bearing fan
• 17" base flashing allowing for better weatherproofing for leak-proof installation
• ⅛" mesh screen — pest-free

How many vents does my home need?

There a lot of roof vent calculators out there on the web (including our website) where you can plug in your attic volume to calculate the proper number of vents. Most building codes and shingle manufacturers also list their requirements. For simplicity sake, we recommend one of our vents every 6-8 feet along your ridge (with enough intake vents as well — they are a crucial part of this system of ventilation).

Aside from Attics Where Else Can These Vents be Used?

Sheds and Garages:

• Stop working in unbearable conditions when you can have fresh air circulating in your shed or garage whenever the sun is shining. Plus, keep those gas fumes from smelling up your utility shed.
• Take a proactive approach to improving your garden shed's ventilation. It is an easy installation.
• Sheds and garages should not be saunas. Let us help you convert it back to a workable space.

Containers:

• Because of the metal flashing that is moldable around the metal curves of a container's roof, it is possible to install our vents on containers.

Why choose Solar Blaster Fans?

Solar Blaster Fans exists because a professional roofer saw a huge problem in his industry and then he designed a hybrid solution to solve that issue — a solution that not only works within the confines of current building codes but improves on their effectiveness in a green and environmentally-sound way.

Are they warrantied & for how long?

Our vents are warrantied for 5 yrs. The way our vents are designed, it makes it very easy to swap out parts if anything goes wrong.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a 2600 sq. ft. single level home. Would it be better to install 2 30 watt attic fans
Answer:	Fairly quiet. I have to get within a few feet of it to be able to hear it. Then it is just a normal hum of a fan.
Question:	I have a metal roof, any way I can install it
Answer:	Depends on how deep the gap between the walls are. If you have a crawl space i between the wall. It will not work and you will need a vent extension/ ducting to fit the fan. If the gap is less than 4 inches. You it will work. Also you will have to drill out the hole for the fan. I would suggest having a profesional install the fan.
Question:	what size opening needed for 30 watt solar attic fan
Answer:	The frame is plastic
Question:	I have single story home with 1870 sq ft, 30 watt fan can handle cooling my attic?? or do I need two fan's

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be mounted on a wall

Question:	Does it have a screen to keep insects out
Answer:	We do not carry a screen at the moment
Question:	How do I get a/c Add on
Answer:	Please call us for the ac power kit
Question:	How do I calculate the wattage of a solar attic fan
Answer:	Watts are the result of multiplying the operating voltage times the draw max current. (W = E x I). Your operating voltage on an AC fan is 120 volts. The operating current is posted on the manufacturer's label on the fan. Multiply one by the other and you get your watts. On a DC system like solar or batteries the voltage is the max output produced and the current (I) is also on the label.
