Since they actually make self solar powered attic vents, you might consider utilizing those rather than take your power that is potentially useful elsewhere.

Excess power? How about supplemental heating of water in a hot water tank? This can reduce some of the grid burden of your appliances. Pump water into a reserve storage tank?

Maybe rather than looking at the attic fans with your excess, maybe if you are currently running air filters or circulation within the house itself, if they run continuously anyway, they would be more practical.
30 KiloWatt Brats anyone?
