Solar Cooling of Texas

SunRise™ Solar Attic Fans

The Green Way to lower monthly cooling costs.

The SunRise™ is a unique, solar-powered vent fan that pulls the heat right out of your attic.

Saves on air-conditioning costs

It's so effective it can lower attic temperatures by as much as 50 degrees. This means less heat dissipating back into your living area, less drain on your air conditioning system, and less cost to you--in fact, up to 30% less money spent on air-conditioning costs.

Uses solar energy

SunRise™ uses the most advanced, flexible solar panel to collect and deliver power directly from the sun to a highly efficient 12-volt DC motor inside the power vent. The latest "state-of-the-art" circuitry captures sunlight even on overcast days. The fans operate without fuel, waste or pollution and are wind, hail and impact resistant.

Prolongs the life of your roof

Moisture can build up in the attic and condense on framing boards, roof decking and insulation. The SunRise™ forcibly expels this warm, moist air, helping prevent the growth of mold and mildew, and significantly reducing the chance of rotting the roofing materials.

During hot summer months

The temperature in your attic can exceed 160°. Small, passive roof vents are often woefully inadequate at dissipating this heat. The attic acts like a giant radiator, passing excess heat back into your living spaces and driving temperatures and cooling costs through the roof.

All year long

Trapped moisture wreaks its own brand of havoc. Everyday activities such as showering and cooking produce water vapor that migrates into the attic. This moisture promotes the growth of mold and mildew and, if it saturates your insulation, can lead to fungal decay and destruction of your roof frame and decking. By using the SunRise Solar-Powered Attic Fan-Attic will be cool, fresh, and dry.

Saves money

Solar attic fans save the homeowner money directly and indirectly. The roof receives direct, intense rays from the sun. Whether it's a shingled roof or a metal roof, heat begins building up in the attic space. Moisture also enters the attic space from daily activities such as bathing, cooking, laundry, etc. Unless this heat and moisture is removed, damage can occur in the form of mold, mildew, and dry rot.

Cools attic

A correctly installed solar attic fan runs from sun-up to sundown, summer or winter, at no cost for operation. With air in the attic space constantly being circulated during the day, attic space temperatures remain lower. That means: 1) a cooler attic, 2) less work for your air conditioner, and 3) your shingles don't deteriorate before their life expectancy. Moisture escapes, and the risk of damage greatly decreases - thus preserving the integrity of one of your greatest investments, your home. Ultimately this results in lower electric bills and money savings for the homeowner.

Cost

The cost to ventilate a normal attic of 1000 sq. ft. with a SunRise™ Solar-Powered Attic Fan is under $500 with your 30% IRS tax credit. An attic of 2000 sq. ft. would cost under $650 to ventilate with your 30% IRS tax credit. If there are any discount coupons or utility company rebates, your cost could be even less. Also the fan will offer years of quiet, no-cost operation.

Warranty

The SunRise™ Solar-Powered Attic Fan, which is made in the USA, is so durable there is a warranty of 5 years on the motor and 10 years on the Solar Panel and all other parts.
