ICP SOLAR INTRODUCES iSun SolarVENT®

iSun SolarVENT® harnesses the sun to deliver continuous ventilation inexpensively and cleanly

ATLANTA, GA, March 22, 2005 - ICP Solar, a leading manufacturer of products based on advanced solar technology, today announced the official launch of its iSun SolarVENT® line of products.


Ideally suited for boats, recreational vehicles and small buildings (cabins, sheds, greenhouses, etc.), iSun SolarVENT® is a self-contained ventilation unit - powered exclusively by the sun - that significantly reduces condensation and heat build-up. With a diameter of 10.5 inches, iSun SolarVENT® uses high-efficiency solar cells to power a 4-inch fan that operates silently to deliver 1,000 cubic feet of airflow per hour. Additionally, iSun SolarVENT® features a rechargeable battery power source that will continue to operate for up to 48 hours - even in complete darkness.

iSun SolarVENT® is easily installed on wood, glass, metal or plastic and snaps directly into standard nautical 4-inch deck plates. Absolutely no additional wiring is required and iSun SolarVENT® will not drain other power sources - ever.

"ICP Solar is proud to be offering products that deliver incredible cost-efficiency and the environmental benefits of renewable clean energy," said Sass Peress, CEO, ICP Solar. "Adequately ventilating compact spaces that get humid - such as the berth of a sailboat - is a challenge, regardless of power source. The iSun SolarVENT® accomplishes a difficult task while saving money and protecting the environment. Furthermore, iSun SolarVENT® generates more than twice the airflow of any similar sized product in its class," Mr. Peress added.

iSun SolarVENT® is available across North America and Europe at retailers including BoatersWorld, Castorama and West Marine. The manufacturer's suggested retail price for iSun SolarVENT® Marine (featuring a stainless steel outer shield) is $129.99 US and $99.99 US for iSun SolarVENT® Multi-Purpose (includes three interchangeable high-impact plastic outer shields in the following colors: clear, green and brown).

With S-5! zero-penetration attachment technology and PVKIT 2.0, the solarized metal roof is the most sustainable system available -and without compromising roof warranties! PVKIT 2.0 is the also the best solution for attaching PV modules directly to any exposed fastener metal roof.
