| Attic Ventilation: Solar-Powered The Broan Solar-Powered Attic Ventilator is a simple solution for temperature regulation in residential attics. The ventilator requires no external power source and helps regulate the temperature in the attic, reducing the load on the building’s heating and cooling system. The panel’s laminate can withstand rough weather and high winds, and the trim color can be set to match the surrounding rooftop. The ventilator qualifies for a federal tax credit.

The adjustable length allows the trailer to carry a wide variety of equipment. The trailer’s loaded-deck height is 20 in., with 6 in. of ground clearance. A built-in tool box and storage compartment are standard features, and an optional flip box is available for the trailer’s gooseneck to allow for 125-in. swing clearance.
