Roof Mount 1500:
Compact and Powerful

For smaller attics, open ceiling garages and even sheds, you may not need as much power. That’s where the RM 1500 comes in. With a 16-watt solar panel, it creates just the right amount of airflow for efficient venting of heat and moisture.

Interior Mount 1500:
Works with Existing Attic Venting

Designed to mount inside your attic, the Solar Star Ventilation Fan IM 1500 converts passive gable, dormer, powered and whirlybird vents into an active, solar-powered venting system. The 16-watt solar panel sits discreetly on your roof to maintain your home’s curb appeal.

High Profile Roof Mount

This aerodynamic design is perfect for locations with heavy snow loads, heavy winds, and/or tropical storms/hurricanes. Meets Florida Building Code HVHZ (FL14826) as well as Texas Department of Insurance (RV-57).

Low Profile Roof Mount

This sleek, unobtrusive design is for most pitched roof applications. Meets Florida Building Code (FL10884) and Texas Department of Insurance (RV-57).

Pitched Roof

A great alternative for north-facing roofs when you need to improve exposure to the sun.

Add the Thermal Switch – Temperature Controlled Attic Fans

Maximize motor performance by adding Temperature Controlled Thermal Switch to any attic fan model. Using a thermal switch, the fan will turn off when it gets cold and turn itself back on when the temperature gets hot in your attic. The thermal switch activates when temperatures reach approximately 85° F (29° C) and deactivates when temperatures drop below 65° F (18° C). Can be installed on all attic fan models.

RM 1500 Add-On Panel – For boosting performance

When shadows limit sun exposure and minimize the performance of your Solar Star Ventilation Fan, supplement its operation with the RM 1500 Add-on Panel to ensure continuous operation throughout the day.

Whole House Fan: Additional Attic Cooling

In addition to the benefits of our solar-powered attic fans, homeowners who install Solatube’s powered Whole House Fans to cool their living spaces benefit from having their attics cooled as well.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solatube Solar-Powered Attic Fans

What are the benefits of installing a solar-powered attic fan? +
Solatube Solar-Powered Attic Fans actively remove trapped heat and moisture from your attic space. In the summer, this significantly reduces your air conditioning costs, protects your roof structure, and extends the life of your HVAC equipment. In the winter, it equalizes temperatures to prevent mold growth, insulation damage, and structural decay caused by ice buildup.
Do solar attic fans only work while the sun is shining? +
Not anymore! Our new ClimaSense™ Series features advanced run-at-night technology. It allows your fan to continue ventilating your attic for up to 4 hours after the sun sets, giving you automatic, continuous cooling and humidity control throughout the evening.
What size solar attic fan do I need for my home? +
We offer models designed to fit any space. Our robust RM 2400 (Roof Mount 2400)features an industry-leading 33-watt solar panel, providing massive power for large attics and garages. If you have a smaller attic, shed, or open-ceiling garage, our compact RM 1500 (Roof Mount 1500) with a 16-watt panel creates the perfect amount of airflow. The IM 1500 (Interior Mount 1500) is a solar attic fan that mounts on the inside of your attic or garage and the solar panel is mounted on the roof.
Can Solatube Solar Attic Fans (Attic Fans) be installed in the garage? +
Absolutely, this is a perfect use for our Solar Attic Fans. It can remove all the hot air out of your attic, so you can utilize this space for hobbies, and it also protects your cars and other objects in your garage. They are perfect for garage ventilation.
Can a solar attic fan be installed on my specific roof type? +
Absolutely. We offer multiple mounting profiles to suit your home's architecture and local climate. You can choose a sleek Low Profile mount, a seamless Tile Roof mount, or an aerodynamic High Profile mount that is specifically engineered to meet strict building codes in hurricane zones and heavy snow areas.
Can I set my attic fan to turn on and off automatically based on temperature? +
Yes! You can maximize your motor's performance by adding a Temperature Controlled Thermal Switch to any of our attic fan models. This switch automatically activates the fan when your attic temperature reaches approximately 85°F (29°C) and deactivates it when the temperature drops below 65°F (18°C).
I already have passive vents on my roof. Can I still use a solar attic fan? +
Yes, we have a specific solution for that. Our Interior Mount 1500 is designed to mount entirely inside your attic, converting your existing passive gable, dormer, or whirlybird vents into an active, solar-powered venting system without adding a new fan housing to your roofline.
What if my roof gets a lot of shade during the day? +
If tree shadows or a north-facing roof angle limit your sun exposure, you can supplement your system with an RM 1500 Add-On Panel. This ensures your attic fan receives enough power for continuous, optimal operation throughout the day.
