Marine Solar Vent - Keep Your Boat Cabin Fresh & Protect Your Interiors From Humidity

Due to constantly changing air, hull, and water temperatures, the interior of boats suffer from humidity and moisture below. Marine solar vents not only circulate the air but also balance the humidity inside and outside the boat, especially when the cabin is closed. While many boat owners think they are protecting the cabin from humidity by sealing it off when it is docked, it actually causes the humidity to rise. In a short period of time from a few days to a few weeks, the humidity inside the boat builds up an unwanted environment where fungi and molds can grow. In addition, the air inside the boat becomes musty and unpleasant. It can even damage interior wood surfaces, electronics, fabrics, and metal. In many cases, wood rot can become an expensive problem.

Marine solar vents can provide continuous air flow and humidity control 24/7 using advanced solar technology and a rechargeable battery. Like most solar powered products, it is powered through photovoltaic (PV) technology that converts sunlight into electricity directly or via a rechargeable battery. They come in various capacities depending on the size of the space of your cabin. Most are a standard small, economical size that can be installed easily.

Marine solar vents efficiently use the sun's energy to power a fan that provides both intake or exhaust ventilation. By installing two or more marine solar vents, switching from intake to exhaust and back is as easy as switching the fan blades. Marine solar vents can also make the space cooler during the day by extracting heat. In addition, the "Day & Night" marine solar vent model is even more practical, functioning for 24 hours by using a rechargeable battery to store up to a day's worth of power.

They can be used on shrink wrap, tents, dock boxes, fabric mooring covers, and more to remove moisture and unpleasant smells. Furthermore, they can be permanently installed without much hassle using self-adhesive backing or fasteners. More on Solar Boat Kits here.
