light up your home with sunshine

Solar daylighting devices bring sunlight from the rooftop into any area of your home. They cost nothing to operate! And because they produce no greenhouse gases (unlike regular light bulbs), they shrink your household’s carbon footprint.

Solar daylighting devices are different from the “skylights” of the past in four key ways:

• they cast an even, steady light throughout the room (no “hotspots”)
• they don’t leak precipitation or cause damaging condensation
• they don't heat up the room they are lighting (saves on air conditioning)
• they don’t siphon out the heat from your home (saves on heating)

Solatube Daylighting Devices have three parts:

Collector: Light is collected at the roof through a clear, multi-faceted dome that looks like a jewel. The domed shape allows the device to catch sunlight from many angles and in any season.

Solar tubes (tunnels): Light is then channeled down a highly-reflective tube, or “sun tunnel.” These tubes are usually 10 inches in diameter and run from the rooftop to the room being lit. Ultra-violet (harmful) rays that can fade carpet, furniture, artwork, and clothing are removed by the device.

Diffuser: At the end of the tube, a light diffuser is set into the ceiling. This diffuser creates steady, even light throughout the lit space. This eliminates the glare and “hotspots” traditional skylights and even windows can create.

You can customize tubular daylighting devices from Solargreen to suit your décor! We’ll make sure the light collector blends in with your rooftop configuration.
