Attic venting is an important aspect in maintaining a healthy energy efficient home. Proper venting cools your roof extending the material life and reduces the load on your air conditioning system. Attic venting also increases fresh air circulation which reduces vapor build up generated by every day activities like showering and cooking.
Excess moisture trapped in your attic can cause a variety of problems from rust and rot to increased bacteria and mold counts which can have a direct impact on your respiratory health! Passive vents have been a part of building codes for years. Soffit vents, ridge vents and louvers rely on nature to provide sufficient air pressure and air movement. So the majority of the time your attic is stagnant and continues to build up heat and moisture.
1. Minimize backpressure of exhaust gases.
* Natural Light incorporates an angled throat within the flashing that provides a venturi effect, which increases airflow.
* Natural Light was designed from the ground up to minimize obstructions in the flashing and shroud.
2. Maximize the exposure of the sun to the solar panel.
* Natural Light designed a mounting bracket that houses the solar panel that allows for angling the panel.
* Natural Light offers an optional special order remote solar panel which is installed away from the attic fan housing. It is used in applications where there is limited sunshine where the unit is to be installed. The remote panel is installed in a sunny area, capturing maximum amount of sunlight and therefore achieving optimal attic fan performance.
3. Minimize the ambient temperature of the solar panel because power output rapidly declines as temperature increases.
* Natural Light powder coats the entire assembly, inside and out, in a neutral gray color thus ensuring that it does not act like a heat sink.
* The solar panel mounting bracket allows for an envelope of cool air to continually circulate around the entire solar panel.
4. Adaptable to any location, roof type, in any environment.
* Natural Light is constructed of .080 (14 gauge) aluminum, the flashing and shroud are seamless ensuring weather tight installations.
* Stainless steel animal protection screen.
* Stainless steel hardware throughout.
* Powder coated to withstand any environment.
* Fifty year Neutral Cure silicone bonds the flashing to the roof.
5. Natural Light is constantly looking to improve the quality of life while protecting the environment.
* The Natural Light Solar Attic Fan is powered solely by the sun.
* Hot attics cause the entire house to be warmer. This gives your cooling system more work to do, wasting power and costing you money.
* Our attic fan reduces the temperature of your attic, saving stress on you cooling system, conserving power, and saving you money.
* We adhere to environmentally safe practices and procedures during the manufacturing of your Solar Attic Fan.
