ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a solar-powered ventilation system for an attic or rafter space that mimics the appearance of the roofing material and thus has little effect on the appearance of the building. The vent has two pieces, a primary vent and a secondary vent. The primary vent is installed on a roof deck over a ventilation opening cut through the deck. The secondary vent is constructed to look like the surrounding field tiles and is installed over the primary vent. The secondary vent includes a solar panel preferably attached to the top surface of the secondary vent. One or more vent openings in the secondary vent and an opening in the primary vent conduct air between the attic or rafter space and the outside. In certain preferred embodiments, a solar-powered fan is also preferably located underneath the secondary vent.
