How does a Solar PAV compare to a Standard PAV in performance?
Standard PAV’s offer many of the same benefits that a Solar PAV does, venting out the hot air built up within the attic. But actually, that’s where the similarity ends. Beyond the obvious cost savings would it surprise you to learn that a Solar PAV is actually BETTER than a PAV at removing this heat? When choosing between a PAV and an SPAV, many think that opting for a Solar PAV is either an attempt to lower their electricity costs or a gesture at helping the environment. Both are valid reasons, but neither touches on the real reason one should opt for a SPAV – performance. The Broan SPAV panels are highly light sensitive because of our high-grade photovoltaic cells and can begin working at dawn to eliminate the moisture that has built up from the cool overnight air, and then, prevents heat build up. A PAV has to reach a high temperature before the thermostat kicks in and tells it to start working. By this time the moisture has already worked its way into the insulation and the walls.
