    At $425 US I'll pass, may I suggest a 12V radiator fan at around $20 from any car wrecker, coupled with a small solar panel around $200 new
    Cheers

    Hi Floot,
    A solar chimney would be better. Remember if you want to do this, you have to consider where the air is going to come back into the house. It needs to come through a cool zone otherwise you just pulling hot air in to replace the hot air you sent outside.....

    Here's a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_chimney
