Stay cool this summer with SunRise Solar

The Sun Heats Up Your Home,

Now Let it Cool You Down

Attic temperatures in the summer can soar to 150 degrees! There's an easy, automatic way to get rid of that sweltering heat: the SunRise Solar Attic Fan.

The SunRise Solar Attic Fan has a built in solar panel powering a whisper quiet fan that sucks the excess heat out of your attic. Since it gets its power from the sun, it costs you nothing to operate.

The SunRise fan is so quiet you won’t even know it is running and it is completely automatic. Reducing your attic temperature will make your home more comfortable and reduce your cooling energy bills.

The SunRise Solar Attic fan also extends the life of your roof. Installation is fast, easy, and guaranteed waterproof.

Meet the SunRise Solar Attic Fan:

1. Solar Panel: The latest state-of-the-art circuitry captures sunlight even on overcast days. Totally weatherproof, the panels are designed for optimum efficiency and are hail and extreme weather resistant.

2. Cover & Base: Molded with UV-stabilized ABS plastic to prevent damage from sunlight. The top has a shingled appearance that helps the unit blend in with the roof while also providing additional stability and strength.

3. Fan Blade: Specially designed 5-blade, 12" aluminum fan is pitched for maximum air flow. It operates whisper quiet with no harmonic noise.

4. Stainless Steel Screen: Keeps critters out while allowing maximum air flow.

5. Mounting Hardware: Stainless steel motor brackets and vertical standoffs provide a flexible and adjustable frame for easy removal or replacement

Contact Naturalight Solar today to get free information on how you can cool you attic with power from the sun.

Celebrate Earth Day with Naturalight Solar

One of the ways you can celebrate Earth Day is by lowering your electricity bill.

You can do this by installing more efficient insulation in your home, new windows, doors, solar blinds, or tube skylights!

There’s a 10% Federal Tax credit on all ENERGY STAR qualified windows, skylights and exterior doors. Products must be installed in a consumer's existing primary residence.

Installing a VELUX SUN TUNNEL will help reduce your energy consumption:

• Filling your home with sunlight means you don't turn your lights on during the day.
• There is no heat transfer in or out. You get natural light without adding to your heating/cooling costs.
• Reducing your energy consumption is good for the Earth and your pocket book!

If you purchase between now and April 22, Naturalight Solar will help you save even more money by giving you our special Earth Day installation price. Call us for a free estimate and mention this email.

Two more nasty skylights replaced

Mike Smith in Sonoma had two leaking skylights in his home. They were old, poorly designed, and even cracked. He had the roof redone but that did not solve the problem. He contacted Naturalight Solar and we removed the old "mess", fixed the curbs and flashings, and installed two new skylights. Problem solved!

Replace your old, energy wasting skylight...

Old skylights let in too much heat in the summer and too much cold in the winter. A modern, energy efficient skylight will save you money and make you much more comfortable all year. It has been determined that millions of energy dollars are wasted every year in the United States because of old skylights. That is why there is a federal incentive program to encourage people to replace their worn out skylights with Energy Star certified ones. This is a picture of a group of VELUX skylights we installed recently in San Anselmo. The skylight that was replaced was very old, leaking, and very inefficient. The top center skylight is manually operable so that the owners can let excess heat out in the summer.
