Sometimes spending the summer months cooped up inside can be intolerable. In the office, your necktie can feel like a heavy woollen scarf, making it impossible to focus. The resources used in conditioning an office space or home are a giant consumer of energy. We are all aware of the cost of this luxury and to keep down the energy bill, air conditioning is used sparingly.

A solar fan is completely practical because it is needed most when the sun is shining and the temperatures outside are at their peek. And that environment is perfect for solar energy. For as little as 20$ you can purchase a freestanding solar fan that is mounted by the window of your office or home and offers a cost-free, self-propelling cool breeze.

Many solar fans are available to hook up to your existing solar panel system. These are great for the office or large units. They run on 12V or 24V power, meaning there is no need for the use of an inverter; they run directly from your solar source, keeping your energy use even lower.

Also available on the market are solar attic fans. These reduce the need for air conditioning by venting out the hot air trapped in an attic space. Not only will this help ventilate and cool your home or office, it will also assist in reducing any moisture damage, mold or rot in the building structure.

The home or office are not the only places for a solar fan. They can be used in the car too. Air conditioning in a vehicle uses a large amount of fuel and with the Oil and Gas Journal estimating that we have, at the most optimistic estimate, 43 years of oil supply left in the world, we need to do everything we can to conserve. The solar fan is not only helping conservation, it is also makes your journey that more comfortable. When your car is left in a parking lot on a hot day, stepping back into it can take courage and a deep breath; you just know it is going to be unbearably hot in there. For a nominal price tag, the solar fan is secured to the window of your car and ventilates the air, sucking in the hot air and blowing out cold.

The summer days are perfect for exploring all the wonders nature has to offer. But a hiker or backpacker must be aware of the dangers of sunstroke, heat exhaustion and dehydration. Keeping your head shaded from the sun is very important on long expeditions. Even when your head is shaded, sometimes you wish there was a cool breeze blowing your way. There is now a nifty, eco-friendly answer. A solar hat fan clips onto the brim of your hat and with minimal light, springs into action, giving you a refreshing breeze that can inspire you to finish the hike.

Solar fans are the solution to the energy crisis on many levels. With temperatures on the increase and fossil fuels on the decrease, solar energy is the answer for staying cool in a changing world.
