What are solar powered attic vents?

Passive vents don’t provide active air movement. Turbines are only effective on windy days. So the majority of the time your attic is stagnant and continues to build up heat and moisture. The Nature’s Power Solar Attic Vent provides optimum ventilation on those hot breezeless days when you need it the most!

Summer Season

During hot summer days, attic temperatures can exceed 160°. The Nature’s Power solar attic ventilation can reduce that temperature drastically.

No matter how much insulation is in the attic, heat can still transfer to adjacent living spaces. In fact, extra insulation can add to increasing temperature as heat can still transfer into insulation; proper ventilation is necessary to evacuate this excess heat. In turn, heat reduction decreases expensive air conditioning energy usage and can extend the lifespan of an air conditioning system.

Winter Season

In cooler months moisture is a serious concern. Even with the use of vapour barriers to keep moisture from entering the attic, air leaks can still occur around ceiling fixtures and bathroom exhaust fans (among other places) that permit unwanted moisture to enter the attic. The moisture then condenses on framing members and on the inside of the roof deck, leading to the growth of mould, mildew, and rot.

The superior ventilation provided by the Nature’s Power Solar Attic Vent also helps to prevent ice dams which form as a result of heated air melting the bottom layer of roof snow which then freezes again as it runs onto the uninsulated eaves.
