I'm seeking recommendations for a product that combines a solar-powered roof vent and a skylight into a single unit where its power is from a solar panel.

Alternatively, if separate units are more effective, I'd appreciate suggestions for:
  • Solar Roof Vents: Brands that provide efficient solar-powered ventilation systems.
  • Solar Skylights: Brands offering quality solar-powered skylights with venting capabilities.
Hope someone can recommend me the best brand in the market that is long lasting and cheap. Thank you in advance for helping me.
 
I have 3 Velux solar powered skylights with the remote controlled mini blinds built in and I am very happy with them. I did not order the vented type because my area has very high humidity, but they do make models with solar powered vent controls. They have a remote device for controlling them, but you can also use a phone app if you have their hub which connects them to your network wifi. I also have a attic fan which I like a lot but it is not solar powered. In my mind solar only fans are limited because the venting needs to continue long after the sun goes down to remove the heat built up over the day. I have a QuietCool fan with 3 temperature controlled settings and on the lowest speed it is quiet and energy efficient, but the sound is noticeable when on the highest speed. It is not loud enough to bother me, but you can hear it. It does blow a lot of air on high.
 
We used to install this brand, back when people wanted them.
Still have a couple installed in our office, and at my home.
Pricey, but used to be great quality, with a good warranty.
Haven't had any contact with them in several years, so YMMV.

how much did you paid for the installation and overall?
 
We were the company that installed them.
They used to be something we offered along with the standard solar installations we did...but it has been years since anyone really wanted them.
LED lighting just became so much easier of a solution for most people.
You'd have to hit up NL for current pricing on units.
