Description
SunRise Solar Flat Base Solar Attic Fan
The Flat Base Solar Attic Fan is SunRise Solar’s top selling unit and it’s easy to see why. Just like a traditional attic fan, solar attic fans remove the hot, stagnant air from your attic during the summer. This allows your air conditioning unit to cool your home more efficiently.
Solar attic fans can cut your energy costs by up to 30% while helping to extend the life of your HVAC system.
Get It, Install It & Enjoy It.
Are you ready to reduce your attic temperature by up to 50 degrees and eliminate winter time moisture? Solar attic fans require no wiring which reduces the cost of installation.
Your monthly operational costs are zero and the SunRise Solar attic fans qualify for a 30% Federal tax credit*. Last but not least, these units are designed and built in the USA.

FLAT BASE UNIT INSTALLATION
NOTE: For best operation, install solar fan where it will receive direct sunlight. South or West facing roof slopes will work best.
- Cut a 14 1/2" diameter hole between rafters approximately 24”-30" down from roof peak to center of hole.
- Trim away top rows of shingles an additional 2" to allow base flashing to slip under top rows of shingles and over bottom rows.
- Slip the flat base under the top rows of shingles and center unit over opening with the SRS Logo on the bottom.
- Gently lift the unit and apply sealant under lower edge and sides of base flashing.
- Pre-drill (4) mounting holes along the bottom edge of the base flashing, and (1) hole on each side approximately 2" up from the bottom edge.
- Use exterior-grade screws to secure unit to roof deck. Apply sealant to screw heads.

Fixed Thermostat Information
This fan has been factory equipped with a thermal on/off switch. This switch is designed to turn the fan:
ON: 80° F
OFF: 65° F
(+/-7°)
Example: Attic temperature rises to 80° and fan turns on. Once it cools to 65° the fan will shut off. If evening comes and temp does not fall below 65° to reset the switch, then the unit will start the next morning at sunrise and continue to cool the attic. However, if the attic temp falls below 65° at night, then the switch will shut off and will not turn the unit on again until attic temp reaches 80°.
INSTALLER: THIS FAN WILL NOT RUN UNLESS THE AMBIENT (AIR) TEMPERATURE IS AT OR NEAR 80°. YOU MAY TEST OPERATION OF THE THERMOSTAT BY BLOWING WARM AIR DIRECTLY ON THE THERMOSTAT TO HEAT IT TO 80°, MAKING SURE SOLAR PANEL IS EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT AT THE SAME TIME.
