I need to replace my attic fan. Recently I've heard of solar powered attic fans. Seems to me that installing one may be a good idea. I know that a solar fan will save electricity but costs more than fans that require external power. Anyone have any thoughts as to the pros and cons of solar fans?

Thanks

You can get 100w per sq. meter of solar panel area, so maybe you get 1/7 hp.

Thanks for the info. FYI, I live on the Maryland Eastern Shore. So the fan will run a lot during the summer.
