Optional Installation
Location for the Solar Panel
If desired, the solar panel can be
separated from the fan's base and installed
in a remote location on the roof. This is
sometimes preferred to maximize the
sunlight captured throughout the day.
Please adhere to the following instructions
when installing the solar panel remotely
from the VentSure Solar Attic Exhaust
Fan—Roof Mount Unit.
Important: For installing the solar panel
remotely from the fan's base, 30-Foot
Extension Wire needs to be purchased
separately from your building materials
supplier. Please ensure you use the extension
wire specii c to the VentSure Solar Attic
Exhaust Fan
While we recommend keeping the
distance within 30 feet, the panel can
be placed up to 60 feet away from the
fan's base without a meaningful drop in
performance. Note: Distances between
30 and 60 feet will require (2) 30-Foot
Extension Wires.
Remove the Solar Panel assembly
Step 1
Remove the 2 tilt
support screws and
lift the solar panel
to gain access to the
junction box and the
solar panel assembly
mounting nuts.
(Figures 23 and 24)
Step 2
Remove the junction
box cover and
remove the 4 screws
holding the wires
and the strain relief
bracket. (Figure 25)
Step 3
Remove the 4 nuts
that attach the solar
panel assembly and
separate the solar
panel assembly from
the fan. (Figure 26)
Step 4
Cut the remaining
wires just above the
wire-way nipple.
DO NOT pull
them out through
the shroud or the
watertight seal will
be destroyed.
(Figure 27)
Attaching the cable extension to
the solar panel
Step 1
Slide the "eye"
connector ends
of the remote
extension adapter
through the hole in
the junction box and
replace the 4 screws.
Make sure the
red wire is on the
positive (+) terminal
typically on the right
side of the box.
(Figures 28 and 29)
Attaching the wire extension kit to
the fan
Step 1
Locate the quick
connector under the
fan shroud. Cut the
zip ties and separate
the quick-connector.
(Figures 30 and 31)
Step 2
Connect the quick
connectors between
the wire extension
kit and the cable
coming from the
motor. The other
remaining cable will
not be used, but can
remain. (Figure 32)
Figure 23 Step 3
Tuck the wire
connection up under
the shroud and tie
wrap securely into
place. (Figure 33)

You are now ready to mount the
solar panel remotely on the roof.
Remote Panel Mounting on Asphalt
Roofs
Step 1
Figure 25
After determining
a location for
mounting the solar
panel, go into the
attic and make sure
the location will
Figure 26
allow a ⁄ " diameter

hole without hitting
a rafter. Once the location has been
coni rmed drive a nail through the roof
deck from the attic side.(Figure 34)
Figure 27
Locate the nail shank on the roof. This will
be the center of the solar mount location.
Step 3
Mark the location and remove the nail.
Drill a ⁄ " diameter hole where the nail

was removed.
Step 4
Locate the solar panel mounting base over
the ⁄ " diameter hole lining up the center

hole in the mounting base with the
diameter hole in the roof deck.
Step 5
Loosen and remove
screw A (both sides)
to allow the panel to
Figure 29
swing away from the
base. Set the screws
aside. (Figure 35)
Step 6
Pull the wire back
through the hole in
the center of the
base to allow the
base to lay l at on
Figure 30
the roof deck.
(Figure 36)
Step 7
Fasten the mounting
base to the roof
Figure 31
deck using the four
(4) 3" galvanized
screws. Seal the tops
of the mounting
screws with an
exterior grade
silicone sealant.
Figure 32
Tilt the panel away
from the base
when installing the
screws. If the panel
is to remain l at
against the base, it
Figure 33
is recommended
to allow the sealant
to completely dry
before it comes in
contact with the
panel. (Figures 37
and 38)
Step 8
After attaching the mounting base to
the roof deck, feed the connecting cable
through the hole in the roof deck. Leave
enough slack under the solar panel
to allow the panel full travel to avoid
Figure 34
pinching the cable or pulling on the cable
connection during adjustment.
Step 9
Adjust the tilt of the panel to maximize
exposure to the sun throughout the day.
The optimal adjustment is to have the
panel 90 degrees to mid-day path of the
