Solar Fan for Chicken Coop Outside 20W Solar Power Exhaust Fan for Outdoor with Solar Panel for Greenhouse Shed Pet Houses

I made a box to shade my SolarEdge inverter from the sun as the instructions say that it should not be mounted in the direct sunlight.I built a cover that has these fans at the top and an airspace in the front with insulation on the back of the cover. The fans draw a good quantity of air through the box and the cooling fins on the back of the inverter and keep it very cool, even in the present heat wave. I have the solar panel temporarily just sitting on a chair so that the sun will shine on them when the big panels are producing power. When it cools off this fall I am going to mount it on the roof along with the others.There was some mention that the power from the panels was weak, but it has seemed to be pretty good to me and does what I bought it for!

We put this in our chicken coop and it works great. Moves a lot of air but needs direct sunlight. The cable is long, so we just go out and move the panel around accordingly.

Easy to install. Takes about 15-20 minutes. The fans are about the same as on a desktop PC. They aren't very powerful but they move enough air to make a distinct difference in a small (10'x12') shed. They work best when the door is closed.

At first we thought it was OK - although it never moved much air - in fact, the movement was minimal. We had it on the roof of our greenhouse. We have another similar fan that is slightly better at moving air on the other side - but the greenhouse still got really hot and even ruined several plants.And then, a few days ago it started making a terrible racket and started shaking terribly! It was apparent that the bearing was failing in one of the two fans. Within a couple of days the fan blades started flying off!We spent too much money for something that was mediocre at best and only lasted a few months.My advice to anyone considering this or any other cheap, little solar fan - spend a bit more for a larger, more expensive unit that moves more air!

The media could not be loaded. I got this fan for my chicken run and at first I installed it backwards so that’s what the vid is. But you can see the strong breeze. I love the stand option but I wanted to zip tie the panel to my run. The off switch is nice for when you adjust the fan height so you don’t get nicked. There is such a long cord, and everything is working through thunderstorms and heavy rain. These are heavy and durable. I had no trouble setting them up, and I love having these to add a constant breeze, something I don’t have to take inside daily. I wish it could store light and work at night, but besides that I definitely recommend.

This works nicely if it is in direct sunlight. If you can mount this panel where it can get direct sunlight then it’s not a bad little rig. The fans produce a decent amount of air when in full sunlight. They stop blowing the second the shade hits the panel.

So it has a soft blow, but the panel itself has to be a clear path to the sun. It must get full sunlight to work. Once it gets even slightly cloudy it does turn off. Uhm, honestly I’m not sure on it. It’s not terrible but it’s also not great. It’s not worth $50 in my mind. But easy to install, that’s cool.

The media could not be loaded. This is a powerful solar powered fan, great for chicken coops or anything that needs air ventilation. It’s well built and seems will last long time. The installation is easy and it spins right after I plugged into the solar panel cord. The cord is long so you’ll have a lot to work with. This probably the best investment I have done for the chicken and ducks, they are certainly very happy with it. Look at the before and after pictures, what a upgrade!
