Research has proven that heat and moisture are every attic's
worst enemy. While many homes have small passive vents, most are ineffective in
moving enough air to expel heat and moisture.
Solar Star attic fans are
technologically advanced with a "run by the sun" solution for both problems.
Most electric powered attic ventilators are engaged by a thermostat, so
they only work when the attic temperatures have already built up. Because of
this, thermostat activated units are forced to play catch up with that built up
heat.
Other systems may only have a humidistat measuring the moisture
level in an attic. This too is a problem because when humidity levels reach the
preset activation level, condensation and moisture have already reached a
critical point.
The Solution is Solar Star
Solar Star doesn't have the costly problem of replacing
thermostats or humidistats like electric ventilators. And since Solar Star
functions from sunup to sundown, humidity and temperature levels never reach
those critical activation levels.
The result is a properly ventilated
attic which prolongs your roofs life, lowers your utility costs, and makes your
living environment comfortable.

Suppress Heat Build
Up
A hot attic acts like a giant radiator, transferring heat
into your living spaces, sending both utility bills and temperatures soaring.
In colder climates, heat build-up in an attic causes snow to melt and run down
where it freezes at the eaves, causing destructive ice damming.
Solar Star:
- Reduces heat build up
- Reduces air conditioning costs
- Prevents ice damming
Battle
Moisture
Many of today's houses have insufficient ventilation and
attic air exchange. This causes high humidity levels from everyday activities.
This moisture migrates through the ceiling towards the roof where it comes in
contact with the cold structure. Here, ice and frost form, causing damage to
your roof structure. Additionally, moisture can saturate insulation, promote
fungal decay and plywood delamination.
Solar Star:
- Reduces damaging condensation
- Protects insulation from moisture saturation
- Fights mold and fungal decay
- Reduces heating costs
