Energy efficient attic exhaust fan?

housenerd | Posted in Energy Efficiency and Durability on

Where could I find an energy efficient roof exhaust fan. I have power in the attic so no need for solar. The attic temperature in the summer is well above the outside temps. I presently have ventilation along the ridge and some under the eves.
