Solar power doesn’t just provide energy for heating water or powering electronics. With solar fans, you can ventilate your home without adding to your electricity bill—just one of many benefits of these innovative devices. Below, Solar Help Hawaii in Honolulu shares three additional reasons why their clients hire them to install solar fans.

Solar Powered Exhaust Fans Offer These 3 Benefits

1. Active Cooling

Solar exhaust fans can remove hot air from your attic. This withdrawal creates negative pressure that draws cooler air into the space. Since hot air rises, the warmest air in your home will be closest to the attic and first to be drawn in, lowering the temperature in both your home and your attic. This reduces stress on your HVAC system and makes your house more comfortable.

2. Yearly Savings

Choosing a solar exhaust system over one that uses regular electricity is more environmentally friendly. Because these devices run on the power of the sun, you’ll see a difference in reduced energy bills just from running a fan. Homeowners may be also eligible for tax credits for up to $1000 for installing solar exhausts or fan systems.

3. Improved Air Quality

Attics can house mold and mildew if they don’t have proper air flow. Solar exhausts help create constant movement and reduce heat, preventing mildew and mold from growing. You may find your home has better air quality because of your new solar exhaust fan.
