There are some small solar powered vents, but their air movement is quite small.
I added a 4 inch Nicro solar vent in 2001. By 2003 the motor was ticking loudly. more recently I removed the motor, gutted as much of the airflow restrictions as possible, and force feed it with 2 120Mm computer fans, inline and counter rotating.
