Ideal Applications for SolAir Fans

SolAir is a highly reliable technology that provides continuous, quiet ventilation no matter where you need it. It can be adapted easily to a wide range of buildings and facilities, and can be configured for either supply or exhaust depending on what you need.

Zero utility costs and standalone operation make this fan perfect for large industrial plants and warehouses where ventilation is critical but energy expenses can be high. It’s also ideal for remote facilities like camps or sites with limited power access, providing reliable airflow without the need for complex electrical installations.

Whether you’re constructing a new facility or looking to upgrade your existing ventilation system, SolAir offers a simple and effective solution. Because it eliminates the need for costly wiring and electrical upgrades, it’s a cost-effective choice for both new construction and industrial ventilation system retrofit projects. 

Quick and Easy Installation

Due to the extensive wiring required, traditional industrial fan setups often include electrical installation costs that are higher than the price of the fan itself. SolAir fans are incredibly easy to install and operate—no integration with your existing electrical panel is required. 

Our ready-to-install kit comes with everything you need to get your new fan up and running, including a solar panel, voltage regulator, and a motor speed controller. Everything is packaged and pre-wired into a single metal cabinet so there’s no guesswork on how to set up each component. All control settings are pre-set and optimized at our factory, and we’ve designed the connections between the solar panels and motor to be simple and straightforward. Your new SolAir fan will be up and running before you know it!
