Hello all.  

I am looking at solar powered "attic" vent fans for installation in a mini attic that I will have. 
I was wondering if anybody had any experience with any of them.  My particular bugaboo is that I want it to be  QUIET. And manufacturers  promises to that effect seem often to be meaningless,  so I wonder if anyone has any experience to share.   I am assuming that the effect in summer will be worth the roof penetration...    
For some reason I like this one:

then there's this one:

and

THanksa in advance,
