Abstract

A ventilation system for an interior of a motor vehicle including a fan secured to an interior surface of the roof of the motor vehicle. The fan is in communication with the electrical power source of the motor vehicle. A plurality of solar panels are secured to the motor vehicle in a spaced relationship. The solar panels are in communication with the fan. A plurality of vents are disposed within the side windows of the motor vehicle. The vents release hot air from the interior of the motor vehicle upon activation of the fan.
