Beat the Heat! Solatube ClimaSense™ Series
Solar-Powered Attic and Garage Fans
As the scorching summer temperatures continue to rise, finding effective ways to beat the heat becomes a top priority for homeowners. We are proud to introduce our highly anticipated ClimaSense™ Series Solar-Powered Attic and Garage Fans.
The combination of direct sun beating down on a home and lack of adequate ventilation can significantly raise the temperatures in a home's attic and garage, which can then transfer to the rest of the house. This can force the air conditioning system to work harder, raising energy costs and even causing structural damage. This latest addition, our residential ventilation product, tackles this issue head-on.
The Future of Home Ventilation
The ClimaSense™ Series Solar-Powered Attic and Garage Fans are engineered with integrated sensors that detect temperature and humidity changes, automatically activating the fan to maintain desired conditions. During the day, the fan is powered by the sun's free daylight. At dusk, it seamlessly switches to house power and continues running for four hours into the night.
Did you know that you can enhance your home's overall thermal efficiency by pre-cooling its attic before the next hot day? Our ClimaSense™ Series lowers your entire home's temperature, reduces the strain on your air conditioning system, decreases air conditioning costs and creates a healthier environment for your family.
- Intelligent temperature and humidity sensors for automatic operation
- Solar-powered during the day, seamlessly switches to house power at night
- Continues operation for 4 hours after sunset
- Two operational modes: temperature-only or combined temperature/humidity control
- Year-round protection against heat, humidity, moisture, and ice damming
- Pre-cooling capability for enhanced home efficiency
- Professional installation available with same-day service

How ClimaSense™ Works
The ClimaSense™ Series provides intelligent, automated climate control for your attic and garage:
- Solar Operation During Day - The fan operates on free solar power, with intelligent sensors monitoring temperature and humidity levels
- Automatic Activation - When preset temperature or humidity thresholds are reached, the fan automatically turns on to exhaust hot air
- Seamless Night Transition - At dusk, the system automatically switches to house power and continues operating for 4 hours
- Pre-Cooling Benefits - Night operation pre-cools your attic, reducing the thermal load for the next day
- Continuous Monitoring - The system continuously monitors conditions and adjusts operation as needed
Two Operational Modes:
- Temperature Mode: Operates based solely on desired temperature settings
- Temperature + Humidity Mode: Intelligently responds to real-time humidity in addition to temperature changes
The ClimaSense™ Series offers year-round protection, delivering consistent ventilation regardless of weather conditions. It mitigates heat and humidity in the summer and prevents moisture, mold and ice damming in the winter.
