Flat Base Solar Attic Fans

SunRise Solar Fans operate from sunrise to sunset. Because our fans work hard all day to remove heat from your attic, there is little need for post sunset operation. The goal is to remove as much heat when the sun is out so that when the sun sets, there is no more heat to remove. *There are rare instances where a consumer might need post sunset ventilation. Feel free to contact us regarding this*

No, the SunRise Solar Attic Fan comes fully assembled and ready to install right out of the box. There is no additional wiring needed because the power comes from the built-in solar panel.
Our fans are designed for easy installation. Any roofer or handyman can install our fans. If you have any questions about a custom install please contact us...we’d be happy to help!

Our Solar Attic Fans reduce the the load on your air conditioner because they prevent heat from radiating from the attic into your living space. The result is not only a cooler home, but lower energy bills! Calculating the exact savings is difficult....it depends on a variety of factors. If you live in an area that is hot most of the year, you will see a significant decrease in your energy bills. If you live in an area that has four seasons, you will still see the biggest savings during the hot summer months. But keep in mind, our fans do more than just ventilate hot air. By actively circulating air your attic will stay cool, dry, and fresh.
Some additional benefits include extending the life of your HVAC equipment because it doesn't have to work so hard....and your shingles will last longer because they aren't being cooked by the heat from both sides!

Our model numbers were originally designed to show how how much airflow each fan produced in CFM’s (cubic feet per minute). But due to the dynamic nature of solar power those numbers will vary depending on a variety of variables such as:
- How much sunlight the fan receives.
- Where the fan is installed on the roof.
- Where you live in the world.
For example, a fan installed on a home in Arizona will run more than on a home in Wisconsin, and a fan installed under a shade tree will run less than one installed in direct sunlight.

All SunRise Solar Attic Fans come standard with a thermostat. During daylight hours the fan will turn ON when it is 80*F or above, and OFF when the temperature drops to 65*F. The thermostat is non-adjustable and is designed for years of maintenance-free operation.

SunRise Solar Attic Fans are made with the highest quality materials available. This is one reason our fans are more expensive than the competition. Every fan is made here at our shop in the USA, receiving an incredible amount of care and precision during the manufacturing process. If you have questions regarding the materials that we use, don’t hesitate to contact us!

No, our SunRise Solar Attic Fans are designed to be maintenance free. The glass on the solar panel is similar to automotive glass where things do not stick to it easily. The panel will produce regardless of dust and bird droppings....and when it rains the panels are good as new!

SunRise Solar Attic Fans are designed to be extremely quiet. The only noise they generate is from the significant amount of air they are moving. You will not be able to hear your fan running unless you are in the attic or directly near it on the roof. You will not hear the fan running from inside your home. Our first market was in Hawaii where many homes have no attic, so our fans are directly ventilating the living space of thousands of homes.....and we've had no complaints about noise even in those conditions.

Yes! Our SunRise Solar Attic Fans aren’t just meant for ventilating attic spaces. In fact, we've got fans mounted near our assembly stations in our shop to keep our technicians cool while working!
