Solar powered fans?
Discussion
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with solar powered fans for lofts/shed? Would like to get something simple but not completely crap to fit in a shed wall/window to try and keep it a little cooler by creating some air movement and ventilation.
Have googled solar shed fan but mainly just get Amazon adverts.

I have one on my boat.
It is better than nothing, but that's all you can say for it.
Looks like this but doesn't have a battery in it:

It's quite noisy due to bearing wear, so gets covered up sometimes!

Thanks for the reply, that’s sort of what I was thinking when looking at what comes up when googled, nothing looks like it will do much without spending loads on an industrial type system.

But thought I would ask here as usually get some good info and ideas.

I was thinking of using a 12V computer fan.
I did this a couple of years ago. I strapped 4x 4" fans together and ran them off a 12v supply.They are amazingly effective, and silent too.
No reason why they couldn't be powered from a solar panel - could even wire them in series / parallel in order to run them off 24v.
