San Rafael, CA - June 2, 2008 Paul Benson, founder/owner of Blue Turtle Roofing, today announced that the Company has become the exclusive Northern California distributor of the Solar Dynamics solar attic fan. “In areas like Hawaii, the fan, dubbed the Super Cyclone Solar Ventilator, has been sold for more than 15 years,” said Benson. “Customers are attracted by its durability and because it saves them money as a low cost alternative to air conditioning. “The solar fan’s durable track record has proven itself to be a low cost alternative to air conditioning,” Benson said. “It’s an easily installed, energy efficient cooling system.” Benson said solar attic fans are ideal for areas such as Northern California where air conditioning systems are not standard installations in homes or businesses. “Frankly, the few number of unbearably hot days in the area doesn’t always justify the cost of an AC system,” he said. So efficient are the fans that, to encourage their use, the State of Hawaii has created a 35 percent tax rebate for the cost of the fans and their installation. The fans utilize a single solar panel and reduce interior home temperatures in the range of 10-15 degrees during hot summer months and maintain a uniform attic temperature in the winter. Benson, who also owns the Paul Benson Painting Company, has built a reputation over nearly three decades by providing quality environmentally- friendly products and services throughout Northern California. “We are very proud to be the first green-certified roofing company in the Bay Area,” he said. “We take our commitment to the environment extremely seriously. And, because our painting company is also green-certified by Marin County, we think that we are in a unique position to work with businesses and home owners who share our commitment.” The various models of solar fans, will be on display at the Company’s booth at the June Home & Jazz Show (June 7 – 8) and at the Marin County Fair, July 2-6. Blue Turtle Roofing’s solar attic fans retail for less than $1000 - a guaranteed warranty of 25 years with a 45-year life expectancy.
