Award winning, professional grade solar powered attic fan can continue to run after dark. The Solar Powered Attic Fan 1010TR is designed to reduce heat build-up in your attic in the summer and remove harmful moisture in the winter. Its commercial grade, heavy duty construction provides up to 25% more power than other fans, providing better circulation and improving airflow in your attic space. One fan can ventilate up to 1350 square feet and lower the attic temperature so your air conditioning won’t have to run as long to cool your home.

Reduce attic heat build-up – 43% of air conditioning design load is based on high attic temperatures. Lowering attic temperature lowers air conditioning use.

The addition of the Solar Controller enables your Solar Powered Attic Fan to run intermittently after sunset, or when there is no light available from the sun. This will allow your attic temperature to continuously drop after sunset and help remove the hot, stagnant air that can build up on those warm summer evenings. The annual operating cost of the using the Solar Controller connected to house power is about $2 a year.  As an upgraded electronic thermostat and humidistat, the Solar Controller also allows you to take control of your Solar Attic Fan’s thermal switch remotely with the hand-held remote control.

A Good Investment

Pros: solar powered, remote temp/humidity monitor, easy to install
Model Number: 1010TRS
"I've looked at a number of attic fans. You can get them cheaper and more expensive. This one is a great value. It has adequate air flow on both the solar and AC power. We charted the outdoor, indoor and attic temp/humidity and found that the fan does it's job. The remote indicator is a great feature to have. None of the other fan companies provided it standard with the unit. The Costco packaged fan does. Easy to install as well. Good quality."

Not as good as a traditional attic fan

Cons: inefficient expensive
"I saw pretty good reviews about this attic fan and ended up buying one and install it but the result was pretty deceiving.
The air flow is not that much and I did not see any improvement as far as lowering the temperature in my attic.
Also with the remote controller you cannot control anything. All it does is to show the level of temperature and the humidity in your attic. So they better call it "remote monitor" instead of "remote controller"."

GREAT PRODUCT-SAVING MONEY AND KEEPING COOL

Pros: great design, great price, added run time
Model Number: 1010TRS
"We own several properties and have not only used these fans on our home, but also installed them on our rentals. The fans keep our home significantly cooler and our electric bill has been down as a result of these fans being installed. Our air conditioner kicks on much less then it use to. We love the Solar Controller and have become obsessed with checking the conditions in our attic. Not only a great product, but priced fair in comparison to others on the market."
