Abstract: A solar powered roof ridge vent apparatus is provided for actively conducting warm air from an attic space of a home or building to the ambient environment. The roof ridge vent apparatus includes a series of electrically powered axial fans fastened to openings formed in a laterally flexible main panel which is installed at the ridge opening of a roof on a home or building. The laterally flexible main panel seals to the roofline. The series of fans are protected from the elements by a shroud. The shroud is fastened to the laterally flexible main panel and forms a cavity surrounding the fans in which the fan drawn air is first introduced prior to passing through a vent to the ambient environment. The fans are powered using electricity generated by a solar panel, which is mounted to the main panel. A thermostat is employed to deactivate the electrical fans at lower ambient temperatures when attic ventilation is undesirable. The apparatus can be installed as a single unit to the exterior of the home.
