Vent Solution for Keeping Solar Unshaded

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
