Does the Solar Panel come with and if so does warranty cover hail? Can a thermostat be hooked up?

My husband says there is a 5 year warranty on the item, but he's not sure if it covers hail. Once installed, I would guess your homeowner's insurance would take over and cover damage like that, but you'd have to check with your insurance agent.

The Natural Light Solar Gable Attic Fan comes with the solar panel and wire extension. The manufacturer's warranty covers material defects for 25-years. Hail damage would not be covered by the product warranty. The optional Natural Light Solar Attic Fan Thermostat is available on Amazon by searching for the ASIN # B0002YVUOO .

Hail?? I hope it's not hailing in your attic. Yes they sell an inline thermostat

You might not need it. The thermal switch keeps it from running in the wintertime when you want the heat to stay in (I'm in Pennsylvania where it gets really cold in the winter). Otherwise if the sun is shining on the panel, it's gonna run.

It did not come with new mounting bolts .I believe it came with the bolts for the thermostat housing. I replaced the actual mounting bolts because of corrosion on the bolts, they were difficult to find on the weekend. Suggest you go to the dealer and buy them ahead of time.

Feb 19, 2016: I just talked to the Honeywell customer service department (couldn't understand name) and he said you can buy this thermostat anywhere you want, but you must have a contractor install receipt showing it was installed by a contractor - or they wouldn't honor any of the warranty (referring to TH9320WF5003 thermostat). I'm not trying to contradict what others have said - just reporting on what Honeywell customer service told me today.

yes, it definitely does come with a thermostat. Basically, you turn it up all the way and let it run until things get to a temperature that you like, then you very slowly turn it down until the heater turns off. It will then turn on and off automatically to keep it around that temperature. Not sure what the other answers saying no are talking about. You open up the front door, and underneath down at the bottom there's a thermostat knob. There is DEFINITELY a thermostat on this.

No it does not. It is a sealed non adjustable unit. I just installed 3 of them so I can't tell you about their longevity but one of the other reviews said they shouldn't be in direct sunlight so I mounted a few inside vented metal boxes that the neon transformers that they replaced were in. The other one I used a small piece of thin sheet aluminum and bent a little cover over it about 2 inches away to allow airflow but still block the sun. Hope this helps,

Sorry to admit. I haven't installed it. I ordered it last winter and didn't get to it right away and then summer came. You know how it is. Outside taskes took precedence. I will put it in in the fall. Sorry to not be any help.

I presume you are asking about the controls, in which case I would say no. The solar collector itself is weatherproof, and they do sell an add-on wire set with the correct connections to allow you to easily install the collector further from the controls and batteries.

No thermostat is included with unit, I went with a wall mount thermostat but I'm sure you can get one that will install on one of the wire compartments of the unit.

No...solar panel not included. I believe you can purchase it as a separate piece. Good gate system.

Mine did not come with a thermostat so I'm assuming you will get a separate wall type one. It does not have one built in.

There is a remote control included. The warranty I'm not sure about. This is the second season I have used this product and it throws an amazing amount of heat.

Yes. The removable weatherproof cover is included. It's black rubber and it slips over the metal unit. I never use it because I don't need it.

Yes it come with the solar panel. But the one I had never did work. Patuoxun had to send me a new one, an that one did work well.

Yes, the Natural Light 20-watt Solar Gable Fan comes complete with the remote mounted 20-watt solar panel. Thermostats and Fire Safety switches are sold separately.

Yes, if the solar area is completely covered by snow it would not charge. Of course, if there is that much snow why are you worried about underground pests?

It would really depend on the severity of the weather. The panels are made of tempered glass so they are tough however I have seen hail that has dented car bodies and smashed windshields. Mine have servived pea sized hail and about 6 inches of snow.
