30% off A/C costs. The best part of a QuietCool Solar Attic Fan is that an AC/DC Smart Inverter is included with the fan. This allows the fan to run during the day from the sunlight, and at nighttime using traditional electricity.
Venting plays a very significant role in the performace of QuietCool fans. QuietCool recommends a mini- mum of 1 SQ. FT. of venting for every 750 CFM in the QuietCool system. If an attic has at least 1:750 attic venting, the QuietCool system will operate efficiently and effectively. If an attic has less than 1:750 attic venting, the system may not operate as efficiently, or effectively, as it could with 1:750 attic venting.

Choosing the Right Location for the Best Sunlight Choose a location to install your QuietCool AFR SLR fan or AFG SLR solar panel is very important based on the sun’s path during the day. The optimal adjustment is to have the panel 90 degrees to the midday path of the sun.
2.2 INSTALLING AFG SLR SOLAR PANEL Once you have found a location for your AFG SLR solar panel, now it’s time to mount the panel. The wiring from the solar panel is 30 feet long and must connect directly to the AFG SLR. Make sure the location you have chosen is within 30 feet of the AFG SLR.

3. WIRING CONNECTING THE AC/DC SMART INVERTER Your QuietCool Solar Attic Fan includes an AC/DC power inverter. This inverter is used to run the solar attic fan at nighttime when there is no sunlight. Simply plug the solar inverter from your fan into a 110v outlet in your attic. The Smart Inverter will automatically switch between AC power and DC solar power depending on the level of sunlight present.
The best part about a QuietCool Solar Attic fan is that you never have to think about it! Since it runs off solar power, it will turn on whenever the attic temperature is above 75°F and there is sunlight. The fan will turn off when the temperature is below 75ºF.
