Solar RoofBlaster for 3.5" Ribbed Conex Shipping Container (Galvanized)

Our Solar Blaster Conex line of accessories bring ventilation and lighting solutions to shipping containers that are being used for storage or work spaces. Breathe fresh air, help protect your belongings from the build up of hot air & moisture, and bring natural sunlight into your container. Finally Vents for Your Shipping Container We have taken our very popular Solar RoofBlaster vent fan and designed a special all-metal, form-fitting flashing that will sit flush on top of a shipping container! The vent itself always works as a passive vent 24 hours a day, rain or shine. Rib Size of your Shipping Container It is critical that you measure the top most flat portion of the raised ribs on your shipping container. We offer two rib sizes: 3.5" and 6.5" products. See below for how to measure your shipping container's ribs. This is a very important step BEFORE ordering any of our Conex products. When the sun is shining, it will power up the fans to help boost the effectiveness of removing the hot air building up inside your steel shipping container. We offer two different sized solar roof vent fans for all of our products. We suggest one solar fan every 8-10 feet. There is no need for an off/on switch. When the sun is shining on the panel, the vents will do their job. At night, the vents still allow air movement passively. Intake Vents are crucial The key to ventilation is uniform air movement across the space you are trying to vent. Placing our 2.5" intake vents low on the shady side of your shipping container will bring cooler air in to help push the hot air out through the vents. You need intake vents to make this magic happen so do not forget this shipping container accessory. Measure the top-most flat section of your shipping container's raised ribs where you plan to install our ventilation product. The image above shows a 3.5" rib size. This image above shows a 6.5" rib size. This size is less common than the 3.5" rib so please do NOT skip this step! Measure! Measure! Measure! Next, place a flat edge across two of your container's raised ribs and measure the height. It should be about ¾ of an inch. Now that you know your measurements, you can choose the correct product for your specific shipping container. Solar Blaster's line of Shipping Container Vents is the ultimate shipping container accessory. Get rid of trapped heat and moisture in a Conex shipping container. This accessory is an ideal ventilation solution for your Conex shipping container. Unlike the plastic vents on the market, this metal solar roof vent fan solution is designed to last. CONTENTS INCLUDE: HOW MANY VENTS DO I NEED? We suggest one vent for every 8-10 feet. BENEFITS: Cool air will come in from intake vents and will exhaust out of the Solar RoofBlaster vent. This uniform air movement helps keep your container cooler and more dry. DOES THIS FAN INCLUDE A THERMOSTAT OR ON/OFF SWITCH? No, it is not needed. Ideally, the fan should run in the summer to remove excessive heat, and in the winter to remove moisture to prevent condensation. And whenever the sun isn't out, the vents will still work passively since hot air always rises. Depending on where your shipping container is located, you may decide that a solar roof vent that has the ability to tilt the panel toward the sun may be even more effective. Solar Blaster has you covered! We also now offer a side-mounted adjustable shipping container vent. No matter what your needs are -- we likely have the shipping container accessory you need.
