Roof-mounted products in Texas and Florida must do more than perform on a sunny afternoon. Contractors need equipment designed for demanding weather conditions, dependable long-term operation and installation requirements specific to high-wind regions.
The Attic Depot 30W Roof-Mount Solar Attic Fan combines up to 1,550 CFM of airflow with an adjustable solar panel, automatic temperature and humidity controls, commercial-grade construction and important windstorm certifications.
It is recommended for attics up to 1,500 square feet.
Certified for Demanding Roof Applications
The 30W Roof-Mount Solar Attic Fan is The Attic Depot’s Florida and Texas Windstorm Certified model. It is also TAS-100 certified.
These certifications distinguish the 30W model from the other fans in The Attic Depot product line and make it an important option for contractors working in areas where windstorm compliance is a significant consideration.
Contractors should always confirm the exact product, documentation and installation requirements applicable to the property and local jurisdiction before installation.
Up to 1,550 CFM of Solar-Powered Airflow
The 30-watt adjustable solar panel powers a variable-speed 24-volt brushless motor capable of delivering up to 1,550 CFM.
The adjustable panel allows the installer to position the solar collector for improved exposure rather than relying entirely on the pitch or orientation of the roof. This gives contractors more flexibility when selecting the fan location and optimizing available sunlight.
Because the system operates using solar power, no electrical wiring is required and fan operation does not increase the homeowner’s electric bill.
Temperature and Humidity Control
Attic ventilation is not only a summer heat issue. Moisture can accumulate throughout the year and contribute to condensation, mildew, wood deterioration and damage to structural materials.
The 30W Solar Attic Fan includes both a thermostat and a humidistat:
Temperature activation at approximately 85°F
Temperature shutoff at approximately 70°F
Humidity activation at approximately 75%
Humidity shutoff at approximately 60%
These automatic controls allow the fan to respond to both elevated attic temperature and excessive humidity when adequate solar energy is available.
Commercial-Grade Construction
The 30W model is designed for professional roof-mount installations and long-term exterior exposure. Its primary features include:
Adjustable 30-watt solar panel
Up to 1,550 CFM
Recommended for attics up to 1,500 square feet
Florida and Texas Windstorm Certified
TAS-100 certified
Variable-speed 24-volt brushless motor
Automatic thermostat and humidistat

Proper Sizing and Intake Ventilation Still Matter
A powerful exhaust fan cannot perform correctly without adequate replacement air. Before recommending or installing a solar attic fan, the contractor should inspect the attic’s entire airflow path.
That inspection should include:
Available soffit or lower intake ventilation
Ventilation baffles
Insulation placement
Blocked or restricted rafter channels
Existing ridge or roof vents
The size and configuration of the attic
The proposed fan location
Available solar exposure
The fan should become part of a balanced ventilation system rather than being used to compensate for blocked or insufficient intake.
