It’s driven by an efficient DC brushless copper motor and designed for outdoor environments where running AC wiring is inconvenient or impossible. Because it runs directly from sunlight, performance varies with light intensity and it does not include a battery backup — ideal when you want low-maintenance, daytime-only ventilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much ventilation can this fan provide for my greenhouse?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fanspex exhaust fan moves a substantial volume of air at peak sun, rated up to about 285 CFM when conditions are optimal. That airflow helps reduce heat buildup and improves air exchange for plants or animals during the hottest part of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFan size: 9.8 x 9.8 inches for broad coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePeak airflow: up to 285 CFM under strong sunlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotor: 100% DC brushless copper motor for efficiency and lifespan\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks only in daylight — no battery included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat powers the Fanspex solar exhaust fan and how durable is the panel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe system is powered by a 25W solar panel that converts sunlight directly into electrical energy for the fan. The panel is built to endure outdoor conditions with an IP67 waterproof rating, making it suitable for mounting on greenhouse roofs, sheds, or coop exteriors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolar panel output: 25W maximum to run the fan during sunny hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeather resistance: IP67 rating protects against water and dust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug-and-play: waterproof connector and onboard on\/off switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDaytime operation: tied to light intensity; will not run at night or in heavy rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat installation and controls should I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward: mount the fan in a wall or ventilation opening and position the solar panel where it receives direct sun. A 16.4 ft cable between the fan and panel gives flexibility for panel placement, and the unit includes an anti-backflow valve to prevent outside air from re-entering when the fan is idle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCable length: 16.4 ft for flexible panel placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOn\/off: simple button with waterproof connector for outdoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackflow prevention: built-in valve to reduce reverse airflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo AC wiring required — fully solar-powered during daytime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this fan work for a chicken coop or shed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the Fanspex fan is suited for small to medium enclosures where daytime ventilation improves comfort and air quality.
