Hi Matt and Graham,

Nice to hear from you but I'm looking for individual fans for the 
sunny boys -not an attic fan for the power shed (although I happen to 
have one of those too)  and I'm looking for a reliable thermostat 
control off of just one heat sink.

I'm looking to improve on spending $700 on 8 sunny breezes - 
especially since I have 4 of the needed 8 fans already and to come up 
with a more reliable system to boot.  The issue is keeping fan run 
time down to only when it's needed and having high reliability in the 
power source.  So I do like the PV approach but would then need a 
reliable heat sink mountable 12 VDC thermostat with make-on-rise in 
the 90-140 degree range.

Any experience with the likes of this out there?
