NULIGHT SOLUTIONS INTRODUCES REDESIGNED FAN-ATTIC
Solar-Powered Attic Fan Ventilates Hot and Humid Attics,
Conserves More Energy, Saves More Money on Soaring Energy
Bills
April 19, 2004 -- San Jose, CA -- NuLight
Solutions, the makers of the Solar Powered Fan-Attic
ventilation system are introducing vastly improved version
of their successful attic ventilation product.
"Since 1998, weve sold over
10,000 Fan-Attics in the US and Canada," said Mark
Edwards, general manager of NuLight Solutions. "With
energy costs rising, and more people looking to save
money, we knew it was time to take a look at new solar
technologies and integrate them into the product."
The new, improved Fan-Attic has a completely
re-engineered solar panel constructed with high strength
tempered glass, commercial grade high-powered solar
cells, and white Tedlar substrate. This proprietary
configuration is engineered to improve cell cooling,
and increase the panel lifespan to 25 years or more.
The new 12.77 watt panel is also more powerful and generates
21.9 Volts at peak sunlight. The old Fan-Attic had an
11-watt panel and generated 17 Volts.
"The new Fan-Attic generates more
power in the early morning and late afternoon hours,"
said Brian Edwards, NuLight Solutions vice-president.
This will allow the Fan-Attic to work far longer into
the afternoon when the sun is at its hottest."
Engineer Garrett Gettleman of Solar Electric
Supply, said, "We specifically designed NuLight
Solutions' new custom glass solar module to provide
peak performance in a variety of temperatures and conditions.
Total power output has been increased by over 20%, outperforming
the leading competitor's solar attic fan by more than
22%. The custom solar module and redesigned fan shroud
have been specifically engineered to work as a modular
unit. This configuration is easy to service, maximizes
cooling of the solar module, and increases airflow during
high heat conditions."
The Fan-Attic installs in 30 minutes on
most roofs. The product will easily ventilate a 1200
square-foot attic space and generate 800 Cubic Feet
per Minute (CFM) at peak sunlight. People with larger
attics often purchase a unit for each end of the roof.
"By allowing the sun to turn the unit on and off,
we allow Mother Nature to regulate when the unit operates,"
said Mark Edwards. "Our whisper-quiet technology
allows you to install the Fan-Attic right over your
bedroom, and you won't hear a sound."
The Importance
of Attic Ventilation
Proper ventilation extends the life of your roof and
makes your home more comfortable and energy efficient.
In the summer, attic temperatures can soar to over 150-degrees
Fahrenheit. This makes your home hotter inside and increases
the level of energy consumption created by cooling and
air-conditioning equipment. Hot, moist air can also
create a breeding ground for mold and mildew under your
eaves. According to Mark Edwards, "HVAC installers
have developed a liking for the Fan-Attic. When they
install a Fan-Attic, the air conditioner works half
as much as it would without the Fan-Attic pulling hot
air from the attic space."
Upgrade program
for existing customers
The suggested retail price for the Fan-Attic is
$389. Existing customers who want to upgrade their Fan-Attics
can purchase an upgrade kit for $130 (+tax&shipping) a significant savings over the cost of purchasing an entire Fan-Attic. "We're aware that a lot of our existing
customers will want to take advantage of the upgrade,"
said Mark Edwards. "That's why we're making the
upgrade available at such a low price."
The Fan-Attic is available at leading
home improvement retailers nationwide.
