I was thinking on the order which is solar powered charger & supply like say a batch of muffin fans from the computer P/S ? I heard something like that some time back to cool the attic to a house besides free electricity & environmentally friendly.
as to humidity problem, I would go to a place that sells dehumidifiers ( around $130.00 ) the GE model has a hose attachment @ the bottom of the tank and run a drain tube on the floor to the outside. pvc flex tubing or cheap water pipe at home builders supply would work, or a plain garden hose would work. just some thoughts ...
