Ask the installer for written specs on the solar attic fan -( ie -what is the cubic feet per minute the fans will move). If you’ve got a 1900 sq foot house - the attics volume (cubic feet nor sq feet) is going to be much more and all solar fans are vastly “undersized”. These are not the large ac powered “attic fans” of the past that move vast amounts of air- solar fans resemble small little hand held fans that you might get at an amusement park to cool yourself off (just stuck into a tube vent on your roof) Not going to do much for a massive cubic foot attic space. I speak from experience working in attics throughout the villages. No noticeable difference at all between homes with or without the solar powered fans. What makes the most difference is lighter colored shingles on the home.
