What is an AC/DC Inverter for Solar Attic Fans?

by George Karonis August 12, 2024

Solar attic fans are rising in popularity because they allow you to exhaust trapped heat and moisture from your attic without causing your utility bill to rise. Furthermore, because hot air in the attic can actually heat up the rest of your home and cause your AC to work even harder, using a solar attic fan can actually reduce your utility costs.

While solar attic fans are a great way to ventilate the attic while reducing energy usage and keeping costs down, sometimes you may want to run your attic fan at night. This poses a problem for traditional solar attic fans which rely on sunlight for power. This is why we offer a solar attic fan with an AC/DC inverter.

What is an AC/DC Inverter?
The AC/DC inverter allows our solar attic fans to run 25/7. The inverter allows the fan to switch from solar as a source of power to the electrical grid in the evening, nighttime hours, or whenever the sun is out, so you can continue running your solar attic fan no matter what.

This feature is perfect when the daytime temperatures are too hot and you want to wait until the nighttime to cool down your attic, or if you run your attic fan during the day but it’s too cloudy. With an AC/DC inverter, you don’t have to depend on the sun to use your attic fan, but you still get the benefit of solar power during sunny days.
