Installation; 110V Hybrid Adapter Installation - Remington Solar Builder Series Installation Manual

INSTALLATION

Step1
Choose a location for your Remington Solar Attic Fan on the south of the roof, considering potential problems
like tree, chimney etc. They may shade the solar panel during certain times of the day, reducing run time.
If a southern or western exposure is not possible, the fan can be installed on any other exposure and the solar
panel can be adjusted to capture maximum sunlight. Note: The Solar Attic Fan must be installed between roof
rafters. However, if you want to retrofit an existing turbine (Whirlybird) or electric fan, you may do so. Just
enlarge the hole if necessary, being careful not to cut through a rafter.
Step 2
Using either a string or template, create a 14 1/2 inch diameter circle onto the roof shingles.
Roof rafters are generally 16" or 24" on center. (Stick a nail from underneath out to the
Note:
roof, then find the nail, so you can see the center.)
Step 3
The Solar Attic Fan must be installed between roof rafters. Do not cut through any framing member. With a
reciprocating saw, cut the diameter of the hole.
Step 4
Remove any roofing nails in the area where the base will be slid under the shingles.
Step 5
Lay a bead of Silicone Sealant around the base of the flashing.
Step 6
Slide the flashing underneath the tar paper and shingles. Adjust the flashing up until the shingles come into
contact with the raised portion of the flashing. The bottom side of the flashing will be on top of the shingles.
Step 7
Position the four screws around the flashing. Two screws go on either side, and the remaining two go on the
top and bottom.
Step 8
Lay a bead of Silicone Sealant along the edge of the shaft base to insure a waterproof seal
Step 9
Use the screws and nuts to fasten the angle of the panel (South or south west is typically the optimal angle,
however, we prefer flat to the earth since you will need more power in summer months.
