Attic Fans

Ventilation systems for homes and businesses in Canada.

Protect Your Home with Solar-Powered Ventilation

Solatube solar attic fans use the sun's energy to actively ventilate your attic space, reducing heat buildup and moisture while protecting your roof and lowering energy costs. Unlike traditional electric attic fans, our solar-powered models operate completely off-grid, require no wiring, and run automatically when the sun is shining.

Available in multiple heights and flashing options to accommodate any roof type, our solar attic fans are engineered for durability and performance. With options for standard installations and hurricane-rated models for high-wind areas, there's a Solatube solar attic fan perfect for your home.

How Solar Attic Fans Work

Solatube solar attic fans feature an integrated solar panel that converts sunlight directly into electricity to power the fan motor. When the sun is shining, the fan automatically activates and begins drawing hot, stagnant air out of your attic while pulling in cooler outside air through soffit vents. This continuous airflow reduces attic temperatures by up to 30-50°F, protecting your roof shingles, reducing heat transfer into your home, and lowering your air conditioning costs. The fan operates silently and requires zero maintenance, making it a worry-free solution for attic ventilation.
