User questions & answers

Question:	so without the thermostat, does this fan run all the time while it is light out
Answer:	Yes, it runs continuously when it receives light. You may purchase a Broan thermoswitch which will shut it off if the temp is less than 50 deg F (which means it'll basicaly run all the time). I purchased the thermoswitch for the Natural Light brand because it turns on at 80 and off at 70 (added benefit: it's cheaper). For my climate in Los Angeles, that range is preferable (I would think the same in other climates, too). To install, just clip off the black male spade connector of the Broan and replace it with a female and reconnect with the switch in series. The wiring that comes with the switch is not used. It's easy and it works!
Question:	Can this fan sustain hurricane winds
Answer:	Our unit is located on the Ocean and we have had storms but no hurricanes since it was installed.
Question:	Can this be installed on a Terracotta tiled roof
Answer:	Only if the tiles are relatively flat. Broan's website indicates the fan is designed for a "shingled" roof. Not much clearance between the base and the fan housing, but it woks great.
Question:	Will these keep the dampness out of a shed? Shed is only 140 square feet
Answer:	This fan is designed for spaces of 3200 cubic feet. We would not recommend using this fan in a small space. Please contact our Technical Support Department at 800-637-1453 for assistance in determining the best fan for your needs.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work in a small walk-in closet or pantry? Or underground seller
Answer:	As long as the sun is shining on the small panels it working. I’ve installed two in the roof of our RV & they seem to keep the moisture out
Question:	Does this blow air out of the building, like a shed
Answer:	It doesn't "blow air" as much as it gently moves air. It's more passive ventilation than an active blower.
Question:	What keeps water or rain from entering your interior
Answer:	There is a rubber seal bike gasket that goes around the outside of the ventilator. When you tighten down the screws it creates a seal. If you wanted to you could put some silicone on this gasket for peace of mind. I did not use silicone and I've had no leaks.
Question:	What is diameter of the hole needed
Answer:	The hole needs to be about 4 3/4 inches to mount.

If you’re looking for an easy way to ventilate your boat, shed, greenhouse or caravan, this is one perfect choice for you!

• Having an exhaust fan installed is one easy way to eliminate hot and moist air from your shed, keeping it cool and dry which in turn helps to prevent structural defects and health problems.
• What makes it good is that it functions efficiently even at night as it comes with an inbuilt battery that recharges during the day and provides you with continuous operation at night.
• For the sake of efficiency, this requires sufficient sunlight to power up the fan, and it is less efficient during cloudy days.

Product description

Trapped heat and moisture in one's attic not only diminishes the comfort of one's home, but they also reduce the life expectancy of your entire roof. This product is an ideal ventilation choice for your home, garage, storage/garden/utility shed. It works whenever the sun is shining! It needs sunlight to work!



CONTENTS:

The Solar SlantBlaster Fan comes pre-installed on a 9" metal slantback roof vent with flashing (16"x30.3").

A 3W solar panel will be attached to the top of the vent hood by four unique, stainless steel clips

 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, these metal vent are 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 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, it is not needed. Ideally, the fan should run in summer, to remove excessive heat, and in 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"x20.3"
• No attic access required to install

User questions & answers

Question:	What pitch does it woork for? We have an A frame
Answer:	This product will work with every pitch above a 3/12. We do not recommend it below a 3/12 pitch. For a installation below a 3/12 pitch please seal the base flashing completely with roofing mastic before installation.
Question:	Can this fit on a storage container
Answer:	This item has a larger exhaust hole and longer flashings then the RoofBlaster. Please see link below for a better application. The RoofBlaster is also less expensive with a 17x17 flashing and an 8 inch opening. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005I67FBS?ref=myi_title_dp
Question:	Why would I pick this and not the RoofBlaster
Answer:	We developed the SlantBlaster for the Texas market. The SlantBlaster is becoming popular nationwide but many vents are regional. Our RoofBlaster has been in service with great results for over eight years. Both the RoofBlaster and the SlantBlaster have the same specifications so it is a matter of personal taste in the look and color of the product on your roof. Thank you!
Question:	Will this work on rv
Answer:	Don’t see why not? Very quiet & well built. It would only work during the day as it is purely powered via solar power

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it thermostatically controlled
Answer:	If you mean is it easy to see the positive & negative wires going directly into the fan, cut & splice your own switch in, bypassing thermostat.... yes it is easy to do.
Question:	is the fan on the roof line or deeper
Answer:	I think sealed, I don't remember any zerk fittings or oil holes to use. Mine has been in my house two years and there are no problems. I by passed the thermocouple and have it on a switch. I put one in my daughters house and used the thermocouple because she and her husband are gone quite a bit and not at home to turn it on. No issues after 18 months. Quiet because I used rubber padding between the fan and board it is connected to. It keep our upstairs a lot cooler. No issues with bearings yet, and I don't really expect any.
Question:	Can this be install to an indoor patio? I have a room where the ceiling is essentially a shingled roof with no insulation or space inbetween
Answer:	The thermostat is inside the fan--look at the picture, it is the little box in the lower left corner where the electrical wire is running into the fan. You can take the thermostat out as it is only attached with a couple of screws. Mounting it a few feet away from the fan is easily doable.
Question:	I just installed this attic fan in my Florida which is in path of hurricane Irma. What should I expect
Answer:	The fan is fairly quiet inside the house compared to others I have installed, however outside at the gable vent you can hear it very well, this fans moves a lot of air,

User questions & answers

Question:	how will having roof ridge vents affect how well the product functions
Answer:	The instructions mention to place this a certain distance from the ridge vents, so it acknowledges them and seems to indicate it is compatible
Question:	Gee, it wouldn't it be oh so helpful to know the dimensions of the product
Answer:	The base is about 2 feet square the diameter of the hole to be cut approx 13 inches overall height about 18 inches I have 2 units on my roof which I installed myself those are my best guess at the dimensions
Question:	Someone mentioned a hybrid adapter so i will work without the sun shine, how do you purhcase the 110 adapter
Answer:	I bought the adapter (it's a great idea!), but it wasn't available through Amazon. However, I went to the Remington website, and bought it there. Enjoy!
Question:	Does this unit run only when there is sunlight striking it or is there a storage battery for the evening. Here in Phoenix an attic is hot after dark
Answer:	It's designed to run ONLY while the sun is charging it. However, you can buy a 110V hybrid adapter (about $80), which easily connects to the fan. It works at night, as long as the attic is 80 degrees (or more), and runs on your home's electricity. Then, when the sun returns, it automatically converts back to solar power. I bought this unit, and had it installed simultaneously, because my attic also stays hot long into the night. Nice, right? :)

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.

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.
