Solar Metal RidgeBlaster

Our Solar Metal RidgeBlaster™ roof fan boosts your ventilation on metal roofs. This is a smaller version than our Solar RidgeBlaster, which sports three fans and a 10W solar panel. The Solar Metal RidgeBlaster has a 4.5W solar panel and one fan, which is a perfect application for sheds and garages with metal roofs. Remove hot air from the highest point even more effectively with Solar Metal RidgeBlaster.

So how does this attach to a metal roof? Glad you asked. Before installing the final ridge vent cover, you attach the floating footprint flashing under the ridge vent cover with the fan attached using the copper-clad mounting brackets right inside the ridge vent opening. Then connect the two ends of wire to the panel and that's it. Our RidgeBlaster products include maintenance-free flashings. This features a very clean-looking installation application.

Can this be installed on a metal roof that already has ridge venting? Ideally, these vents and fans should be installed before the ridge vent cover is installed. But if you know how to remove your ridge vent cover, then by all means, you will certainly be able to install our Solar Metal RidgeBlaster on your roof.

Applications include any metal-roofed structure like homes, garages, and sheds that have ridge venting. It has also been installed on the sunny-side gable vent and also roofs that have O'Hagin's flat tiles alongside ridge venting (see photos above).

Professional-grade performance with straightforward installation makes the Solar Metal RidgeBlaster an essential upgrade for any metal-roofed structure resulting in an enhanced ventilation solution due to the power of the sun. Why not use the source of all that attic heat to also blast that heat away more effectively than ridge venting alone?

Solar Metal RidgeBlaster™ roof vent helps boost the effectiveness of what would otherwise be a passive vent system while also acting as a passive vent anytime the sun is not out.
