Claims13
A ventilation system, comprising:
- an elongated ridge vent having a cross-sectional profile corresponding to a roof peak, comprising:
- a first fan within a housing integrated within the elongated ridge vent
- a first solar panel integrated within the elongated ridge vent to provide energy to the at least one fan;
- a first outlet area within the first housing to allow air to escape from an area within a structure beneath the fan;
- a first flexible region at the substantial center of the elongated ridge vent for adjustment of the cross sectional profile;
- a substantially L-shaped housing having a first leg in which a second fan is disposed and a second leg in which a second solar panel is integrated;
- a second outlet area within the substantially L-shaped housing to allow air to escape from the attic;
- and
- a second flexible region between the first leg and the second leg for adjusting an angle between the first leg and the second leg,
- wherein the second fan is sized to be received by a corresponding opening in a downward facing side of a roof soffit.
