Solar Powered Gable House Fan
Whole House Attic Snap Fans

Snap Fan is a family of DC powered high efficiency ventilation fans that operate directly from solar panels giving you the cooling effect required when the sun is at its hottest. Snap Fan is an ideal solar powered gable house fan, a whole house attic fan, greenhouse fan, agricultural fan and can even be adapted as a window fan.  Snap Fan is made in the USA.

Snap Fan is designed using the best materials available to bring you unparalleled efficiency and reliability, extremely quiet and vibration free.  Snap Fan has a three wing polypropylene fiberglass blade mounted in a square injection molded fiberglass venturi frame, aluminum stays, high efficiency DC brush motor.  Every part on Snap Fan is serviceable and replacement parts are readily available.

If you are looking at attic ventilation to reduce heat gain and get your cooling bills down you will also be interested in our 98 plus percent effective radiant barrier insulation shield TruProtect.

Snap Fan Use & Installation

Snap-Fans  have excellent performance and durability. This fan will provide you with many years of service with little maintenance, provided a few simple precautions are adhered to:

  • Proper Placement - be sure to place the fan in a suitable location to adequately maximize air movement. Typically Snap-Fans are placed close to a room's ceiling to both exchange and circulate warm interior air with cool air from outside.

  • The Elements - shelter your Snap-Fan from inclement weather and natural hazards such as, but not limited to, wind, water, rain, hail, dust, ice, snow and nesting birds. If you do not plan on using your Snap-Fan during wet, frozen winter months please remove Snap-Fan and store in a dry location until ready for use.

  • Marine Hazard - Snap-fan must not be placed within 500 feet from saltwater environments as corrosion will prematurely wear out even the best of electronic equipment. Do not place this product directly or indirectly in contact with water, condensation, spray, or mist as such an environment will dramatically shorten the life span of this product.

  • Caution - the blades of the Snap-Fan are built tough and they spin at high rates of speed, so extra precaution must be used when choosing a location to install your fan. With each installation site decision check to make sure the spinning fan blades are out of reach of humans and animals.

  • OSHA requires finger guards for fans located less than eight (8) feet from the ground.

Powering Your Snap Fan

Snap Fans will operate on voltages from 12 to over 30.  The life of the motor brushes is shortened at higher voltages but they are easily replaceable.  One thing is for sure: these fans move more air with less energy than any comparable ventilation fans.

With Snap Fan you can purchase the fan only, or Snap Fan provides a kit for each fan size which includes the fan, finger guard, solar panel, breaker and breaker box and 15 feet of cables with quick disconnects.

We can help you configure your Snap Fan and solar components to meet the requirements of your applications.
