At latitude 38, solar power keeps my Nicro vents running 24 hour days, for about
9 months out of the year. Solar power charges batteries that drive the fans
after sundown. Not enough sun in the winter to keep the batteries charged up
enough to drive the fans all night.
I like the idea of no wires running up the mast. I hope the Tacktick setup
works. Let us know your latitude and results if you do install.

We are at lattitude 52 north, and even in the summer my Nicro vent is
not always running through the night.
