Next, locate a center position between two rafters inside the attic as near as possible to the outside measure- ments. Drill a guide hole through the roof from inside that is equal distance from the two rafters. Place a marker through the roof for quick identification while on the roof. A template is provided on the back of the carton for drawing the circle.
Next, cut an extra 1 off the top half of the hole shingles only to allow room for placing and positioning the flange. Do not cut through any rafters. Cutting a rafter may cause your roof to sag. The embossed arrow and word UP should be pointing toward the ridgeline. Slip the upper half of the flange under the shingles.
Center unit over the hole. Attach flange securely to roof using roofing nails around the perimeter of the unit underneath shingles at the top. SolarRoyal specializes in energy efficiency solutions and products.

Excessive noise during testing or unexpected vibration of the product may indicate damage. If you believe that your product may be damaged after testing, contact Attic Breeze customer support for assistance before installing. Keep hands, hair, and loose clothing clear of the fan blade during operation! Do not allow packaging material to interfere with the fan blade during testing as damage may occur.
If the outside ambient temperature is below this range, the fan may not immediately operate when you try test it. Should this happen try warming up the thermal switch by holding it in your hand. Determining the best location for installation of your new Attic Breeze solar powered ventilation product is a two-step process. The idea is to balance the airflow through your attic to achieve a maximum amount of cross-flow ventilation from all air intake sources. When installing Attic Breeze products in conjunction with ridge vents, the solar attic fan unit should be installed a minimum of feet below the ridge vent to allow for balanced air flow through the attic click here for more information on ridge vents.
Your Attic Breeze solar attic fan should not be installed any closer than 10 feet within an existing passive vent. Studies show that installation of active ventilation products too close to passive vents may result in short circuiting of airflow, resulting in poor attic cooling performance from your fan. For best results, block off any passive vents that are too close to your chosen installation location or find an alternative location that will allow for the best balancing of airflow through the attic.
The solar panel on your product should be oriented toward the south and installed in a location that will receive optimum sun exposure throughout the day.
Avoid installing your Attic Breeze solar attic fan in areas that may receive shade during the day or in a location where a shadow may cross the solar panel. If the best location to install on your roof is in an area like this, consider using an Attic Breeze fan model which features a remote mounted solar panel for better sun exposure. Proper air intake ventilation is the one of the most important aspects of ensuring a successful installation.
Attic Breeze solar attic fans must be supplied with enough make up air to both minimize airflow resistance through the attic and allow our fans to operate at their optimum performance speeds. When air intake ventilation is insufficient, our fans are designed to slow down and generate less airflow. This is a safety feature which minimizes the possibility of attic depressurization, but also results in poor cooling performance.
