thanks to all
Just my opinion they do work well.

I have 2 solar fans and they have dropped the temp in the attic. I have a remote WiFi thermometer up there just to learn for myself how much of a difference it can make.
It’s possible it will make the home easier to cool but it will also could extend the life of your Shingles.

As for a problem during a fire of solar attic fans.

If the fire is inside your home the fans won’t really change anything unless you have a big hole in your ceiling.

If the fire is in the attic the small fans will melt and the fixed vents or ridge vents will still allow air flow.
