The typical installation is on the South or West face of the roof where the sunlight is most direct. If the preferred site happens to be on the front of your home, then we often tell our prospective customers that we need a note from their wife telling us it’s OK to put the fan on the front roof of the house. In actuality, most of the time having a fan on the front is not an issue. But if it is we offer a remote solar collector (the fan can be mounted on the back roof and a much smaller cable-connected solar collector slips onto the sunny front with a much thinner, less noticeable profile).
