Remington Solar 110V Hybrid-Solar Adapter for Solar Attic Fans - Allows Your Attic Vent Fan to Run at Night Automatically

This thing fixed my roof mounted attic fan after the solar panel died. Good quality on this adapter. Terrible quality on the solar panel.

The adapter is poorly built. It does not last. I got one with my original unit it last less than a year. I bought a second one that also is dead after a year. I put the second one on a high end surge protector and even unplugged it for the winter months. The solar fan is nice and seems to work well. The adapter sucks. I would not recommend the adapter at all .

This back up power supply for the attic fan is a bit pricey, but it's made especially for the fan unit, is simple to connect, and keeps the fan running after the trees shade the solar panel in the afternoon, and on into the evening after the sun has gone down, but the attic is still hot. The only reason you wouldn't want this to go with your fan is if you did not have 120v. back up power available on site.

Product was easy to install and works very well with the Remington Solar Attic fan

I thought the other reviews stating that this fails after a short time were one-offs maybe. Nope! This failed within a month ( and I am able to return it thankfully ). And when it fails, it blocks the solar panel from powering the fan. Sad to say, this is not a quality item. Don't buy it. Hopefully some other vendor can manufacture a version of this that works. ( And it wasn't thunderstorms, we haven't had any severe ones since this was installed ). Now, what to do about keeping it powered at night when the roof is still hot. Any ideas anyone ? Have you found custom wired solutions that work ?

It was nice while it lasted, but expensive. Seems like some folks only got a month or a year out of their adapters. I got 3 years out of mine before it died. I liked the fact that it was able to run the fan even after the sun went down, which helped a lot with our upstairs and attic temperature. But it’s very expensive and I wish it had lasted longer. I doubt I’ll get another one, and will just go off of solar power from now on. I even ran a GFCI outlet and surge protector in my attic specifically for this thing, so now that effort seems wasted.

My expectation is this would work out of the box. It did not. Where are the 1 star ratings? It should work every time. Since this item is in an attic it is not an easy to get too. Unfortunately, I bought and installed this brand. Run. The solar fan unit failed again. Time for a real power vent. Look at this. These are built cheap. """Only for use in 'Remington Solar" brand attic fans! Requires surge protector or warranty is voided.""" Needs a surge protector? Garbage. none of my other electronics died.

It seems to bypass solar panel on attic fan all together not like the described ad where it goes back and forth
