13 best solar whole house fans
Solar whole house fans are a type of ventilation system designed to cool and ventilate an entire home using solar power. These fans are typically installed in the attic or roof of a house and are equipped with solar panels that capture sunlight and convert it into electricity to power the fan. Here are some key points about solar whole house fans:
Energy Efficiency: Solar whole house fans are highly energy-efficient because they rely on solar energy rather than electricity from the grid. This can lead to significant energy savings and reduced utility bills.
Ventilation and Cooling: These fans work by pulling hot air out of the attic or living spaces and replacing it with cooler outside air.This helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and can reduce the need for air conditioning, especially in hot and sunny climates.
Improved Indoor Air Quality: Solar whole house fans help improve indoor air quality by reducing humidity levels and removing stale air and odors. They also help prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to mold and mildew problems.
Easy Installation: Installation of solar whole house fans is relatively straightforward, and they can often be retrofitted into existing homes. They typically require minimal maintenance once installed.
Solar Panel Integration: The solar panels used in these fans are designed to capture sunlight efficiently. They are connected to the fan's motor, ensuring that the fan operates whenever there is sufficient sunlight, typically during the daytime.
Environmental Benefits: Solar whole house fans are an environmentally friendly option as they reduce the carbon footprint of a home by decreasing the need for conventional air conditioning and electric fans.
Cost Savings: Over time, solar whole house fans can pay for themselves through reduced energy costs. They can also potentially qualify for tax incentives or rebates, depending on local regulations and incentives.
Size and Capacity: Solar whole house fans come in various sizes and capacities to suit different home sizes and ventilation needs. It's important to choose the right size to effectively cool and ventilate your home.
In summary, solar whole house fans are an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly option for cooling and ventilating homes. They harness solar power to reduce indoor temperatures, improve air quality, and cut energy costs. Properly sized and installed, they can be a valuable addition to a home's HVAC system and contribute to overall energy savings.

User questions & answers
Question: | Can this be mounted on a wall |
Answer: | Yes you can, apart from the sunlight angle |
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. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is this fan considered and exhust fan: pulling hot air hout only |
Answer: | The fan can either pull air in, or, can exhaust the air. We use it all the time on exhaust...open the windows just upstairs, say, at night, and the fan sucks in the cooler night air through the open windows. I usually open some downstairs windows just a bit and it cools the entire house pretty well. |
Question: | Is this fan reversible |
Answer: | Yes it is, and it's just as powerful both ways. I use it all summer to draw air through my house and when I reverse it from that, I get a wonderful blast of air. |
Question: | What is meant by mounting the fan so it can't vibrate? Must it be screwed into the window casing or can lower the window and padding on the sides |
Answer: | I did not screw the fan into the window casing. I simply installed a 2x2 wood bar and tucked the fan under the bar as a support. Removal is also easy with this method. I have no noise issues other than the normal fan sound itself. See my review with pictures in December if you need more info on how I set mine up. |
Question: | Are these enough to cool off a hot attic |
Answer: | As long as you have another window to open elsewhere in the attic, they move a lot of air really fast. i have mine in an upstairs window and if i have a couple of windows open on the other side of the house i only have to turn the fan on for 15 minutes and by then all the air in the house has been swapped out with cool fresh air from out side, (i run mine 15 minutes a night and draw the cool air inside instead of using an air conditioner. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Can a variable speed control be hooked up to this fan |
Answer: | Yes. You can use the Tjernlund SCP plug-in speed control with this. |
Question: | what are the dimentions of this product (lenght/width at the widest |
Answer: | Inside plastic framing is 13 5/8" by 13 5/8". The exterior part is metal and is 11 1/2" by 11 1/2". The depth of the interior plastic frame is 2". The depth of the metal exterior part is 3 1/4". It comes with 4 screws to secure the metal frame to the wall. |
Question: | Do you need outside shutters to keep the rain out |
Answer: | I have a south facing window for my fan and the rain usually comes from that direction (I am just north of Seattle). I have had no problems with rain coming through with the shutters that came with the fan. |
Question: | how many sones is this fan |
Answer: | I don't know the sones, but the decibel rating is either accurate, or overstated, because these particular shutter fans are very quiet for the amount of air they move. They don't have the "roar" or hum that other small exhaust fans have, just a low air-whoosh sound. The shutters are spring assisted so they do not make any rattling noise either. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Will this dry up plumbing leak mess |
Answer: | I've used this fan for small areas of dampness from an AC drain line backup, and it works well for that. But, for a larger plumbing leak, this fan would be inadequate. You need much larger air movers and possibly drying equipment to ensure a complete drying procedure is done. This will help ensure you don't end up with mold or mildew. |
Question: | Will this be good for pulling cold air from a central ac unit to fully push air up stairs |
Answer: | It works great for me. I just make sure I put it at the bottom of the stairs. |
Question: | cfm rating |
Answer: | home depot site says 374 CFM |
Question: | how many cfm |
Answer: | ((((((( approximately 341 CFMs )))))))) |

User questions & answers
Question: | I am looking at the 24" variable speed model to get heat out of the garage. Can I use an existing 3-speed (ceiling) fan switch to control this unit |
Answer: | It is likely not rated for enough amperage and some ceiling fan switches have 4 wires and some have 3 |
Question: | Is this fan suitable for use in a greehouse |
Answer: | It’s an exhaust fan so if your looking to pull the hot air out then I would think you could use it in a green house. |
Question: | Can the louvers be mounted on the air intake side of the fan |
Answer: | Do you need an intake fan instead of exhaust air out? If so, we do not make one at the moment. |
Question: | rough opening size for the 24" fan |
Answer: | I installed a 24” fan using a 24 1/2” x 24 1/2” rough opening. 24 1/4” would do it but to be safe I went a little larger. |

User questions & answers
Question: | do you have to oil it |
Answer: | Oiling the motor once or twice a year will extend the life of the motor. If the motor requires oiling, oil ports or openings will be located on both motor end plates. Use a SAE 20 non-detergent motor oil. |
Question: | Has anyone retrofitted one of these to a roof vent |
Answer: | I did one in a gable vent, it comes with nice instructions. I mounted it on a piece of plywood then mounted two 2x4s to the gable vent framing then mounted the plywood to the 2x4. It was easy, my 12 yr old son and I did it in 30 minutes. It was summer time in the attic so we wanted to do it fast. I bought a cheap extension and cut off one end and wired it to the leads then ran it to an outlet in the attic. |
Question: | How long is the thermostat wiring. How far will it reach away from the fan |
Answer: | Wiring on the fan thermostat is very short about 12" or so. I rewired it and moved the thermostat to a location about 25 feet away. This allows me to set the thermostat without having to crawl down the entire length of the attic. |
Question: | The 2500 cfm fan uses less power than the 1500 cfm? and haf of the 1600 cfm? Am I missing something here |
Answer: | I had to find this out myself straight from the manufacturer, https://bvc.com/skin/frontend/base/default/salessheets/gable_ss.pdf.

From the Manufacturer
In the midst of the Great Depression, two aggressive young men emerged with two new products that would make major contributions to the housing industry. In 1932, Henry Broan developed and manufactured a kitchen fan called the Motordor Fan that provided quiet and efficient kitchen ventilation. His creation launched what is today known as Broan-NuTone LLC. Four years later, in 1936, J. Ralph Corbett developed a melodious door chime replacing the obnoxious door buzzer of the time. His development launched what is today known as NuTone, Inc. Both men, headquartered in the Midwest, started their companies with a simple product and a few employees. Each expanded their companies, creating revolutionary new products that provided unmatched conveniences for homeowners nationwide. Both companies quickly became global competitors and continued to provide innovative, superior products to meet the needs of consumers. In 1981, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. was acquired by Nortek, Inc. and became the lead company of Nortek's Residential Building Products Group, which was named the Broan Group. During this same time period, NuTone was sold to Scovill Manufacturing in 1967 and was then acquired by Williams plc in 1991. In 1998, Nortek acquired NuTone, adding it to the Broan Group and renaming the group the Broan-NuTone Group. Then, in January 2000, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. became Broan-NuTone LLC, with NuTone Inc., Aubrey Manufacturing, Inc. and Rangaire LP as subsidiaries. Today, Broan-NuTone LLC is headquartered in Hartford, Wis. and employs more than 3,200 people in eight countries on three continents. It is North America's largest producer of residential ventilation products such as range hoods, ventilation fans and indoor air quality products and also holds major market positions in chimes, central vacuums, intercom systems, medicine cabinets, built-in electric heaters, whole-house fans, attic ventilators, paddle fans, ironing centers, trash compactors and speakers.

User questions & answers
Question: | Can this unit be used in a suspended ceiling |
Answer: | We would not recommend this in a suspended ceiling. THank you. |
Question: | I’m wanting to replace the 45 year old version of this one. Are the dimensions and wiring still the same |
Answer: | Actually, I purchased this exhaust fan to replace one that was about 25 or 30 years old. You should find that the canister that is currently in your ceiling does not have to be removed. Once I removed the guts of the old fan I was able to put the new fan with the heating element and lights into the housing that was still in the ceiling. It has been working perfectly since I installed it. |
Question: | Can you have the heat and the fan on at the same time |
Answer: | Yes but the fan blows down when you have the heat on then you put the fan on which blows out. What a waste. |
Question: | I presently have a broan 741sn in my bath. wife wants heat. are there any problems in swapping in a nutone 9093wh? will it swap out easily |
Answer: | It will not swap out easily. The 741SN has a housing dimension of 8.25" x 8" x 5.75". The 9093WH has a much larger housing. It is 13.25" diameter x 7.5" height. You would need to enlarge the hole in the ceiling as well as needing more clearance in the attic. |
