Enhance Your Solar Attic Fan with an Accessory
Natural Light offers several products to add extra functionality to our Solar Attic Fans or to assist with tile installations.
NATURAL LIGHT ACCESSORY
Thermal Switch
The thermal snap switch is a small device that attaches to the attic fan motor. It’s designed to turn on the Solar Attic Fan when the temperature in the attic reaches approximately 80°F.
The thermal switch will turn off the motor when the temperature in the attic reaches 70°F. The switch helps maintain a consistent temperature when the weather is temperate and also reduces wear on the attic fan.
NATURAL LIGHT ACCESSORY
Fire Safety Cutoff Switch
The optional fire safety cutoff switch is specially designed to help stop the spread of house attic fires during daytime fan operation by shutting down the fan.
The switch features a fusible link that will melt at 228° Fahrenheit to limit the introduction of fresh air that would otherwise help feed the fire. It is easily installed alone or in conjunction with the thermal switch.
NATURAL LIGHT ACCESSORY
Remote Panel for Shady Roofs
A remote solar panel is used in applications where there is limited sunshine available at the location where the solar attic fan needs to been installed. The remote panel is installed away from the attic fan assembly in a sunny area, capturing the maximum amount of sunlight and therefore achieving optimal attic fan performance.
How Remote Panel Model Works
The attic fan unit is installed on the shady portion of the roof and is powered by the a remote solar panel installed on the sunny side.
NATURAL LIGHT ACCESSORY
Tile Roof Flashing Skirt
Most solar attic fan installations on tile roofs will need an additional flashing skirt. The custom designed flashing skirt is installed over the solar attic fan flashing to ensure a weather-tight installation.
The flashing skirt is made of a soft heavy-gauge aluminum that molds over any tile shape. The rubber seal fits over the base unit. The steps to install a solar attic fan on tile roofs are slightly different than a standard installation. Please refer to our detailed installation instructions.
NATURAL LIGHT ACCESSORY
Turret Extension for Tile Roofs
The turret extension is a uniquely designed extender for the solar attic fan. It raises the housing portion of the fan 3 inches to allow additional room for thicker tile roofs. The turret extension is easily installed by removing the existing housing bracket and protective screen assembly and replacing it with the turret extension.
Natural Light also manufactures a Tile Profile model which is designed specially for thick tile roofs. See Model.
