12 inch solar powered fan works like a charm on roof of my 1600 sq ft
home, and I deducted some of the cost on 1040.
When there is early morning moisture on my FL shingles, the area
surrounding the vent is always dry - which tells me that it is
working. So far, (only 1 1/2 years old) no problem.

I glanced at one. If I recall, they do not include the expensive solar
cells. If that's the case it's gonna take a long time to recoup the cost.
Have to be a hardcore granola head to go for it.
