Description
Hot Air Out, Fresh Air In!
“Before, the container would feel like an oven and the air inside would get stale, but now there’s a steady airflow that keeps the temperature down and reduces the humidity. The fan kicks in as soon as sunlight hits the panel, and even after sunset, the vent still lets hot air escape passively. It’s been running reliably without any wiring or power setup, and it feels like a solid long-term solution for keeping stored items safe.” - Debra D.
Why Get Our Solar-Powered Shipping Container Vent?
✅ Powerful Solar Ventilation: Hot air and moisture buildup inside steel shipping containers is a common issue that can damage stored items and create a stuffy environment. This solar-powered roof vent uses sunlight to power a high-speed fan, providing continuous airflow at 96 CFM without needing any electrical power or wiring, and it continues to vent passively when the sun is down.
✅ Built for Shipping Container Roofs: The vent flashing is specifically designed to fit shipping containers with roof ribs measuring either 3.5 inches or 6.5 inches, providing a secure, flush installation. Compatibility includes standard conex shipping containers with ribbed roofs, and proper measurement of the top flat portion of the ribs to ensure a perfect fit. The vent is installed on an 8-inch metal can roof vent and comes with metal flashing and stainless steel clips for stable mounting and long-lasting durability.
✅ Durable All-Metal Construction: This vent is built entirely from metal for long-lasting performance and better durability than plastic alternatives. The fan is a two-ball bearing 120mm unit rated for 50,000 hours, and the 5W solar panel is rated for 25 years, making it a long-term ventilation solution for shipping containers.
📓FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How does the solar vent work without electricity?
A: The vent uses a 5W solar panel to power a high-speed fan during sunlight, creating continuous airflow. When the sun is not shining, the vent still functions passively because hot air naturally rises and escapes through the vent.
Q: What are the advantages of this solar vent over regular container vents?
A: This vent actively removes heat and moisture using solar power, rather than relying only on passive airflow. It provides stronger airflow at 96 CFM, which helps cool the container faster and reduces condensation buildup.
Q: Is this vent compatible with all shipping containers?
A: The vent is designed to fit containers with roof ribs measuring 3.5 inches or 6.5-inch.
