Solar Panel Powered Fan Mini Ventilator IP65 Waterproof 10W 12V Solar Exhaust Fan for Dog Chicken House Greenhouse RV Roof Quietly Cools and Ventilates

works perfect and good price would be good for a deck box small doghouse peak or small electric enclosure. too small for a shed.Was worth a try and was not sellers' fault, just not enough power to vent what I needed.

The fan works, the plugs and cables work, even the panel works to an extent. But in direct open sky, no clouds, scorching sunlight, the panel doesn't deliver enough to run the fan on its own. The culprit is the solar panel. It is of poor quality and doesn't deliver claimed wattage or the fan has a steeper power requirement.-tested the fan, it runs on 10 watts. So it is indeed the garbage solar panel. Don't waste your money on this because you will be spending $20 for essentially a $1.50 computer fan. You will be ripped off just like I was.

I purchased this fan originally to go in a window of a chicken coop. I didn't realize how small it was. It's very weak as far as air speed. The solar panel does work, and it does power the fan, it's just not a great fan. I suppose if you were to need a fan for just light air circulation, it would do the trick, but if you were looking to keep an area cool, this is not the fan to get. I only tried the solar power, not the other power sources included.

My only complaint is the solar panel needs to have completely full sunlight. If it’s partially blocked at all, it will not have enough power to start the fan, but other than that position in accordingly, and it works very well.

I have a coop with a northwest facing window and southeast facing back door, both of which I now fully open in the summer.The summer of 2021 I had no fan installed and kept the back door closed. The chickens survived but it got HOT inside. I’m talking 110 on a 100 degree day.In the summer of 2022, I built a wire gate for the back coop door and bought this fan. I set it up exhaust style in the top of my coop to try and pull the hot air out during the 100+ temp days in 2022. I created a screen cover to help protect the wiring since I recognized it was backwards from the expected installation. I only used the solar power so it ran from sun up to sun down. It improved the temp inside from 110 on a 100 degree day to around 103. It easily lasted all summer until a predator tore up the screen and ripped out the wires trying to get into the coop in the fall. Luckily it held and the chickens were safe. I dismantled the fan portion and covered the hole for the winter, but left the solar panel screwed into the roof.I purchased the new model this spring. I appreciate the addition of a metal wire cover to help protect the fan blades. I installed it as an intake this year to see how it worked in comparison to the set up last year. Today clocked 104 outside and it stayed 104 in the coop. I’ll consider that an improvement over last year.Recommendation: for me, running it as an intake (since the fan is in the shade in the afternoon) worked better than as an exhaust fan. I would buy this again.Pros: good value for the price, lots of power for such a small fan, strong wire protection of the bladesCon: the solar panel from last year didn’t survive the winter so I had to use the new one from the kit. This year I’ll either bring the new one I got in the kit inside or expect to buy a replacement next spring.

At the risk of stating the obvious--the fan's output is proportional to the amount of direct sun it receives. Some reviewers mention that the output is not that great, and I would agree if it was a cloudy day. However, in full sunlight, this fan can really move some air! My daughter and I built a small hoop greenhouse and we use this fan to vent cooler air in. It does a fantastic job and we are very pleased with it as it keeps the greenhouse from overheating. Prior to the fan install, we would often have plants that wilted because it was too hot in there. Things are so much better now with the fan. Obviously, on days when the sun is not that bright the fan is slower, but then again, the need for the fan is less as well. So it all-in-all works out perfectly!

Tiny, flimsy, definitely NOT worth the price. When I was going through my stuff I was thinking this was one of the flimsy $5 solar items is gotten from temu. That would have been worth the price. But for $40, no way.

Not a powerful fan, but consistently runs at a good speed when the sun shines.
