Default Solar fans now or later?

After reading numerous posts about solar fans, we've decided we should have them. The question is, do we need them now, even though we won't be moving in for a year or so? We installed a de-humidistat, so we supposedly aren't using the air conditioning as much, although I won't know until I get my next electric bill. Can anyone tell me what benefits we might get by installing now as opposed to waiting, since we won't be there to monitor any problems. Has anyone had a moisture problem in the attic (stains on ceilings?) or any other problems before installing a fan and have that problem solved? Who would you recommend, Solar Guys, Solar Lights and More, or someone else? And finally, should i even consider standard electric?
