Which Solar Products Are Right for Your Home? EcoVantage Energy Has Options

Not every home needs the same solar setup. A small townhouse with a hot attic has different needs than a workshop, an RV, or a house looking to cut its cooling bill dramatically. EcoVantage Energy Inc., an online solar retailer based in Weatherford, Texas, carries a wide enough range of products that most homeowners can find something that fits their specific situation.

This article breaks down the main categories of solar cooling and ventilation products in their catalog and offers guidance on matching a product to your home.

Start By Identifying Your Main Problem

Before browsing products, it helps to define what you are actually trying to solve. Most homeowners fall into one of these situations:

The Attic Depot 30 Watt Solar Attic Fan moves up to 1900 CFM and includes a built in thermostat and humidity sensor, which is useful if you want the fan to run automatically based on conditions rather than constantly.
The Attic Fan Elite series includes standard attic fans as well as versions built specifically for gable vents and garage ventilation, so the same basic technology can be adapted to different parts of the house.
The SunRise series is one of the larger offerings, with the SunRise 1250 rated for attics up to 1600 square feet and the SunRise 1650 rated for attics up to 2400 square feet. Both list their CFM output, which is the main number to compare when sizing a fan to your attic.
