LOCATION

For shingled pitched roof installation only. Check with local

building code to determine correct use and ventilation

required for your attic.

Solaratticfansget100%oftheiroperationalpowerfromthe

sun,thereforethesolarpanelneedstobeexposedtoasmuch

sunlightaspossible.Southexposureisbest.Ifasouthern

exposureisnotpossible,lookforanothersunnyexposurefor

yourinstallation.Thesolarpanelcanalsobeadjustedto

capturemaximumavailablesunlight.

Avoidpotentialproblemssuchastreesandotherbuildings

shadingtheunitduringcertaintimesoftheday.Avoidinstalling

nearawall,chimneyoranybuildingsectionthatispositioned

higherthanthesolarfan.Thereshouldbeaminimumof

48in(121.9cm)betweenthesolaratticfanandanypossible

obstruction.
