Jimbo, see last link.
That size in electric run about $100. plus installation and operating costs. They need between 280 and 400 watts to operate.

Home Depot Attic Fan - Home & Garden - Compare Prices, Reviews and Buy at Nextag - Price - Review

These solars at HD seem to be about 250cfm, 15 watts and underpowered.

Edit: found this 1500 watt comparison online but I think the electric costs are overstated. Still looks good though.
