This issue aside, I have another question. Let's say I buy a 12v vent fan, like a Fan-tastic fan, then what would be the easiest way to wire it since I don't have a 12v system? I know I could use a converter. I'm perusing using a computer power supply. But would it be possible to use a ac/dc wall adapter (with comparable specs) and just plug it into my ac system then?

That could work, but you would need to make sure the power supply you use have adequate output. In generaly everytime you convert power it is less effient, so you would be taking 12 V>120>12, probably doubling the actualy power used. If you search you will see that some people installed PC case fans in place of a fantastic fan, there are 120V versions of that type of fan that might work for you.
Here are some examples

I'll definitely be building my own fan after doing some research. I didn't realize how cheap I could tie fans together and use a rpm controller to control speed. I'm actually thinking about going with the following fan (two tied together) so I can easily reverse air flow. It already comes with a toggle switch to reverse direction and a speed controller.

Can I get some thoughts on this setup below? I was thinking I could add another solar panel and charge controller rather cheap.

All in all, I'll be building the vent fan first because TN is hot and the Climateright a/c is still on the fritz.
You all have been so helpful. Can't thank you enough!
