The stock bathroom and kitchen fan vent covers stand about 6” or 8” tall and partially block two of our tilted solar panels during a brief part of the day. Can anyone recommend a shorter solution? :) Cherry & Moda

If they were any "shorter" then you could not open the vent fully.

Replacing the vent with Maxxair fan will cut vent height in half and improve ventilation and reduce noise. If you are satisfied with current vent and fan it may not be cost effective. $$$$ JM2¢, Hank

I have one 250 watt panel that is covered some during sunrise from AC cover but at the end of the day I'm at 13.5 volts with 350 amp hour battery reserve the amps will very dureing the day. I have one 250 panel that runs across the cap that has no obstructions.
