Third. solar fans are more expensive

Fourth. Electric fans are cheap to operate

Fitth, Solar fans inflate how much air the move. Think about it solar fan firms claim that a solar fan driven by 20 watts moves as much of more than the most efficient electric fan at five times the wattage.
so , as far as a solar fan goes. its not worth it. that was what I was thinking.
