Caution
- For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
- To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off the power unit.
- This ventilator operates when the solar panel is exposed to sunlight. To reduce the risk of injury while installing, servicing, or cleaning the unit, cover the solar panel with cardboard or disconnect the wires from the motor terminals (note wire locations when disconnecting).
- The recommended open-air inlet for this ventilator is around 0.85 square feet (R=6.3in/0.53ft). The best location for these air intake vents is under the eaves with direct access to the attic. Failure to provide these intakes could cause natural-draft gas appliances to backdraft.
- Your attic fan installation will create a screened opening into your attic space. During a heavy rainstorm, there could be a light spray of rain into this attic space. This is a normal condition with all attic ventilators and will not cause any damage to the structure. We recommend that you do not store any valuable articles directly under the fan opening on the roof.
- This attic fan is intended for sidewall installation. It is one perfect choice to ventilate the attic, boat, shed, greenhouse, caravan, workshop or garages, etc.
- Take care to avoid getting paint on the solar panel.
- The installation instructions contained in this document are only a recommendation and individual professionals may have their own methods of installation. If your roof has an existing warranty, installation of this product by anyone other than those who installed the roof may jeopardize any future warranty claim. Please check with the original installer of your roof if this is a concern.
- When working with asphalt shingles in cold weather (below 40oF), take care to avoid damage to the shingle edges and corners.

3. Firstly use a compass or ruler to measure the inner radius of the exhaust fan, then fix it to the wall with a compass, turn out the size of the mounting hole we need, and then use an assault drill or an electric hammer to drill the required hole.
4. Install the exhaust fan into the hole, then use a screwdriver to screw on the corresponding screws, and seal the gap between the exhaust fan and the wall with glue.
NOTE : If you want the air to blow OUT, please install the fan with the blade facing away from you. If you want it to suck air IN, then mount with the blades facing you. The installation direction depends on your needs, thanks.
Install the Brackets
NOTE that please place the brackets in the same way as the picture shows, and the orientation is uniform, in case the brackets cannot be installed due to the orientation of the brackets.
7. Connect the cable of the solar panel to the cable of the exhaust fan. Just plug the quick connector of the exhaust fan to the quick connector of the solar panel directly. Please don’t reverse the pin/power connector and make sure it has the right connection.

cabin, chicken coops, doghouses, etc. It delivers an eco-friendly approach to
neutralize moisture and drive out heat, can prolong the life of your roof
structure and air conditioning while helping you save up to 30% on A/C costs.
Q: How to install the DC fan to make it runs/blows in the right
direction?
A: If you want the air to blow OUT, please install the fan with the blade
facing away from you. If you wan it to suck air IN, then mount with the blades
facing you. The installation direction depends on your needs, thanks.
Q: What is the required hole size for the DC fan?
A: The diameter of the fan is 12 5/8 in. (320mm)
Q: What is the best installation angle for the solar panel?
A: It must have direct exposure to the sun to work. The best working angle of
solar panels is facing south, forming an angle of 20-30 degrees with the
horizontal. Of course, you need to make appropriate adjustments according to
your latitude.
Q: What should I do if the solar fan doesn’t work after setting up or
working for several months?
A: 1. Please install the solar panel under sunlight. It’s a 100% solar power
unit. Must have direct exposure to the sun to work. If you install it in the
dark, it won’t work.
2. Please check whether you had reversed the pin/power connector and make
sure it has the right connection.
3. If the fan still doesn’t work, please connect the DC fan to your 12V
battery directly (please make sure your 12V battery has enough power), then
check if the fan works. If it doesn’t work, there might be some problem with
its motor, please contact the customer service team for a replacement motor.
4. If the fan only works when connecting with the battery, there might be a
problem with the solar panel. Please put the solar panel under sunlight, then
use a multimeter to check the panel’s voltage. Generally, the voltage is
around 18V to 22V, the current is around 1.3A. If the voltage number you got
is lower than 18V, please contact the customer service team for a replacement
solar panel.
Q: Can the cable length be extended?
A: Yes, the cable length can be extended. The solar panel comes with 1 piece
of 16ft (5m) extension cable which has a connector for the plug to the fan
conveniently.
Q: Does it come with a thermostat? Can a thermostat be added to it
A: No thermostat for the fan is provided. It runs automatically when the solar
panels are exposed
to sunlight and conversely shuts off when it’s dark. It is not temperature
controlled. And the
thermostat also can be added to it, thanks.
Q: How many hours the fan works?
A: As long as the sun is hitting the grid the fan is on. It works from the sun
up to the sun down but in wintertime a few hours less.
Q: Will the fan work at night?
A: No, the solar tan is 100% solar power unit, which means it only runs off
the Sun, so it won’t run at night, unless you have one battery backup for it
If you need a fan that can work at night. we have solar-powered fan kits with
battery. please search these ASINS on Amazon BO7MHTC73F. B089K3CD7S. B07Y2351
