too loud, and too weak. It has a 12 fan in it that you would find in your desktop computer.

The product arrived a couple days earlier that promised and was very well packaged with heavy duty boxing to protect the vent. The product was installed with ease with only a partial shingle needing removal on my existing shed roof to complete installation. The solar vent works well and I will be ordering a second for additional hot air removal. Since this was my first experience with a solar product I was skeptical to order number of vents I really needed. The vent has been installed for about a month now and works very well, Plus I like the idea I did not have to install to the vent. Expect another order for another vent.

I do not know if the Attic Fan works. I got it for my greenhouse for the summer. I don't think there is enough sun right now to test it. If you have a way, I will bring it in to see if it works. For the second time, the delivery for Home Depot ignored the cautions on the box of "Fragile" and "this side up" so the flange is bent on this one like it was on the first one. I can't review it if I have no way to see if it works yet.

The slightest shadow on the panel reduces the rpm's. Even the shadow of one finger. Not good.

Wonderful product! Has cut the amount of time my AC runs by keeping the heat pulled out of the attic.

The fan is fairly small, it certainly doesn't create a breeze, but in the gable of a playhouse seems like it helps to at least keep slow movement of the hottest air.

No assembly necessary. Easy installation. Seems to be constructed well. This is my second unit. I have another that I installed several months ago and it is still working well. No complaints about the unit. Moves quite a bit of air. Quiet as well. I would have given it an excellent rating, but the Sun needs to be fairly high in the sky to start the fan. I would like to see an optional battery pac so the unit will run after the Sun has dropped below its power angle limits.
