Our SolaTubes our master bathroom, so much natural light and they look great. We are very pleased. Thanks so much

So efficient and clean.
Love my original solatube in a windowless bathroom, so I added 2 more in dark area that really needed light. It did exactly what I wanted for the space. So much more welcoming
-
Highly recommend Solatube!
I had dark areas in my bathrooms, hallway, and living room, and wanted more light. I found Solatube, I'm thrilled with the results--it brightened the rooms exactly as I hoped.
-
Love solatube! We have installed it in several of our rentals. Its so great and fast for darker spaces
-
We had 3 Solatubes installed in our home. The rooms where the Solatube installed are now 100 percent brighter.
-
Very impressed with the transformation! We updated 5 existing Solar Tubes and added a new one. We added solar night lights and upgraded lenses. I love the night lights which turn out to be a great safety feature as well. Thank you so much!
-
I love how our Solatube looks
-
We just had our 30 year old Solatube skylights replaced with solar powered open and close ones by Solatube Home. The skylights are very improved over our old ones. No more cranking! Love them!
-
If you're considering solar tube lighting (it really works great) look no farther that Solatube. We couldn't be happier to give a 5 star rating
-
I’m so very happy with all my Solatubes! I have had them out twice now for more tubes and am very satisfied with their quality
-
Have used this company in the past for their solatube ceiling lighting systems. Company doesn't use high pressure tactics. They just present their product line to offer you solutions based on your needs
-
We had a Solatube installed in a dark hallway. It is now bright and beautiful.
-
So very happy
I’m so very happy with all my Solatubes! They really brighten up my house.

We had our new Solartube installed in our kitchen. It really lights the room up. If you have an area in your home that is dark in the daytime, call Solartube. Amazing!
-
We love our 2 new Solatubes.
-
The solatube is perfect and gives my room the light I was hoping for.
-
I have owned my Solatubes for 18 years, and recently decided to replace them. I love having an option for increasing daylight iny home. I have plants in my home, and they definitely respond to the extra light
-
Professional and clean installation of 10” Solar Tunnel. It’s a great product
-
Solatube Home has been a blessing in my life!
-
I am very impressed not only with the quality of products that Solatube has but their customer service is outstanding.
-
Having a dark living room and front bathroom without a window is depressing! But, with my new solatubes you've made my new home happy and bright again.
-
We have 3 skylights and after 37 years of use at least 2 were showing noticeable signs of wear. Once installed I honestly couldn’t believe how much additional light the new skylights provided. Makes me wish I had done this years ago.
-
I’m super happy with the result and my hallway is much brighter.
-
It has been a few days now since I've had my solatube installed and it has immensely brightened my kitchen space!!
-
Ok until the warranty runs out and they turn yellow. Expensive to replace. You would think they
-
My solatubes are so bright and shiny i almost need sunglasses in the house..highly recommend..not too many companies offer this kind of service these days.
-
What a difference these have made in my home. I wake up excited for the day as I get more light now. Spending more time in my living room which used to be too dark
-
I had three solar tubes installed today. What a huge difference around here.
-
Excellent in all aspects. The tube brightened up a windowless bathroom and the light spills into the adjacent hallway.
