Wire Connection to Roof Fans

I have purchased and installed two solar fans and they work great. Advantages: 1- The fan makes no noise. You have to go to the attic or the roof to find out if the fan is working or not. 2- Installing a roof fan is easy, remove your existing turbine fan and solar fan, simply install in the hole or with minimal adjustment. 3- instant switching; from solar panel to electricity.4- The design has tags that indicate where and what to connect the solar panel to the motor. Difficulties 1- It took the installer three trips to connect the solar panel and power to the fan. The installer stated that the solar connector has three pins, green/yellow, a male and a third. Mating a plug into a jack isn't a problem, but you'll have to twist right and left until the cable is routed for the third port. Otherwise you will hear a tick-tick. is replaced. This was a big annoyance. Fan effect The fan was installed in July. Temperatures range from 92 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit this month and the heat index can range as high as 116 to 120 degrees. In the attic, the temperature is usually 20-30 degrees higher than outside. The fan has a certain effect in extreme temperature conditions; instead of the heat of a hot oven, it has to be done quickly. About 30 degrees Celsius are bearable in the attic. Please read more about roof insulation to understand it better. With attic insulation, the temperature is five degrees plus the outside temperature. That is, if the outside temperature is 90 degrees, the temperature inside the attic is 95 degrees, not 120 degrees [roughly that number]. in the attic. [Vential ceilings used under the eaves to keep the attic ventilated while preventing mold and heat build-up.] In the end, you should have reasonable expectations. The fan is, among other things, an important factor when it comes to lowering the temperature in the attic in summer.
