Ventilation Done Right
High quality, metal solar-powered ridge roof vent for shingled structures (houses, sheds, garages).
Get the maximum benefit from ridge ventilation by adding our Solar RidgeBlaster roof fans and solar panels for a clean and green solution to boost your attic ventilation. Remove hot attic air from the highest point even more effectively with Solar RidgeBlaster! Ridge venting is one of many passive roof vent options that you can choose from. But like all passive roof vents, they only work when there is a breeze.
So what happens on those stifling, hot days where there is no air movement? Literally, you end up with an oven on top of your living space.
How does a Solar RidgeBlaster™ prevent an attic from turning into an oven? A Solar RidgeBlaster® roof vent turns that passive ridge vent into a vent that works regardless of lack of wind and even works on overcast days. Your attic's heat will be pulled out much more efficiently. So while the sun is the source of all your attic heat, it can also be put to work in pulling that hot air and moisture out. This solution is a very economical way for you to solve your attic heat problem. Ridge vents have an added advantage over other vent types — they exhaust air at the highest point, and with the Solar RidgeBlaster, this vent system becomes even more effective at removing the hot attic air.
Why are there three fans in this unit? The three fan configuration allows the fans to turn on individually and gradually as the sun rises and produces more and more solar energy.
Applications include any shingled or metal-roofed structure like homes, garages, and sheds that have ridge venting.
Professional-grade performance with straightforward installation makes the Solar RidgeBlaster an essential upgrade for any shingled structure resulting in an enhanced ventilation solution due to the power of the sun. Why not use the source of all that attic heat to also blast that heat away more effectively than ridge venting alone?
These days all attic vents are installed according to specific building codes that involve calculating your attic's space to figure out the amount of intake and exhaust ventilation required.
If you've had your roof replaced in the last 10 years by a reputable roofer, then your roof has the proper number of vents. But those vents are all passive ventilation that only work when there is wind blowing up through your intake vents at your eaves and through convection (hot air rising).
Solar RidgeBlaster™ roof vent fans help boost the effectiveness of what would otherwise be a passive vent system while also acting as a passive vent anytime the sun is not out.
