National Home Show: Solar-Powered Attic Fan

Spotted at the Home Show this past weekend: the “eco-Smart” labelled Solar Star solar-powered attic fan from Solatube.

The Solar Star, is an environmentally-friendly, low-cost ventilation solution. By placing the unit where it is most effective, the highest point on the roof, it can properly circulate air and ventilate your attic space, transforming your home into a more comfortable living environment. Powered by a 10-watt solar panel, this thing is a pretty interesting product as it helps prevent heat buildup, reduce air conditioning costs, and in the winter helps prevent ice damming.

This booth was a popular one - we expect to see some of these popping up in our neighbourhood pretty soon.
