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.

This is something I never considered. The solar fan will run during the cooler weather because there's no way to stop it.
