Solar Energy Facts

My husband I bought our first home last year and this summer has been brutal! We’ve got fans upstairs in the all the rooms but it’s still so hot upstairs. We want to get an attic fan installed, a solar one preferably. We rarely use our air, but it would help tremendously on those really hot days and I know it’s also good for winter to keep moisture down.
We have a tile roof and I wonder if that would make installation harder, especially since the tiles break easily. Anyone install something like this in their home? Was it worth it? Was it more expensive because of the tiles?
Thankfully we are lucky enough to have a couple of trees out front and have a relatively low electricity bill, but it could always be better and I would love to not have to use the air at all!
No, our fans are not useless, they help the room feel cooler and they use much less energy than air conditioning. That is widely known.

I don’t know of anyone that has a solar powered attic fan. But I know of people having solar on their homes and run an attic fan.

I would think that the tiles would make the cost of anything more. Simply because they know you can afford the tiles so you could afford to pay a little more for their services.

It takes a tile kit to put solar on a roof and no one wants to get on a roof with tile on it. I know I will turn down any job that involved tile.

Good luck, but I bet it will cost a little more then you expect.
