I'd like to use a solar panel to run two AC 3.4amp attic exhaust fans. What
sort of components would I need to do this? I know I'd need the panel and an
inverter, but I'm not sure if I'd need anything else. I'd also appreciate
advice on exactly what models of equipment would suit my needs.
It seems to me that using an AC motor with an inverter is wasting a
good percentage of the power. I would use the 12VDc off the panels
with a DC motor such as the fan motor from a front wheel drive car, or
maybe one even more powerful than that. Also, if the panel isn't
getting full sunlight, then the DC motor might run at half speed,
where the inverter might not run the AC motor at all.
Oh, one other thing. It seems that a convection system might be the
way to go with this attic ventilation. And also there are those wind
turbines that run off convection.
