What to compare in solar fans and pumps
Fans and pumps run either directly from a panel or from a 12V source. The flow and wattage lines show what they can actually move.
- Panel wattage: Solar-direct units pair a panel with a motor. Check the stated panel watts and whether the unit runs only in strong sun.
- Flow rate and lift: Pumps state gallons per hour and maximum head. Flow drops as lift rises, so judge both numbers together.
- Airflow: Fans list CFM. Compare it with the size of the space, such as a greenhouse, shed or attic, as the listing describes it.
- Motor type: Brushless motors are named on some listings and are typically described as quieter and longer-lived.
- Voltage: 12V DC units suit a battery, while panel-direct units differ. Match the unit to the source you have.
- Intake and fittings: Hose barb sizes and screens are listed for pumps. Check them against the hose you already own.
Define the job in numbers: how much water must move and how high, or how large the space is. Then match the stated flow or airflow, leaving margin because rated figures assume ideal conditions. Check the listing for any minimum sun level, because many panel-direct units slow or stop under cloud.
