Anyone know of a US supplier for a 48" patio fan that is DC / solar powered? I want to put one on my porch and the only use will be during the day so why not avoid the hassle of running 110 to it and do Solar? Unless they don't make one.

Found one out of Singapore/China. Too bad I didn't have the need when I was over there twice a year.

'patio' fan... I can't see an AC one drawing more than 2 amps, so 300 Watts ? Maybe easier to run solar to recharge a battery that powers a small inverter ?
Up here 300 watts cost about 6 cents per hour......

Most of the ones I came up with are 19" or smaller designed for use in a RV or camper. I really want to go a minimum of 48" for this location. My issue with AC is around having limited access in the attic to get over to the porch in order to run AC to the fan. We have a vaulted ceilings in both the main room and the sun room. I do have access to an outdoor outlet on the porch, however that may mean removing siding or running power in an external channel. Both are doable, I just need to stop cutting bait and start fishing
