Services
Tubular Skylights
Our tubular skylights deliver natural light to interior spaces through patented optical technologies. The systems use Raybender dome lenses and Spectralight Infinity tubing to maximize light capture while rejecting heat. Available in multiple sizes with optional nightlight features, these skylights install quickly without structural modifications. Commercial applications benefit from high-output models designed for large spaces.
Solar Attic Fans
Solar-powered attic fans reduce cooling costs by removing hot air and moisture. The ClimaSense series operates day and night, maintaining optimal attic temperatures with 33-watt solar panels. These systems prevent roof damage, extend AC lifespan, and qualify for federal tax credits. Available in roof-mounted and interior-mounted configurations for residential and commercial buildings.
Whole House Fans
Engineered Performance Series whole house fans provide energy-efficient cooling by exchanging hot indoor air with fresh outdoor breezes. The systems feature variable-speed motors, insulated ducting, and quiet operation. Models range from 1400-4567 CFM capacity to suit homes of all sizes while reducing reliance on traditional air conditioning.
Commercial Daylighting
Our commercial daylighting solutions include SkyVault and SolaMaster series systems designed for large-scale applications. These high-output tubular daylighting devices integrate with building management systems and meet strict energy codes. Custom configurations serve schools, offices, and industrial facilities while reducing lighting energy consumption by up to 94%.
Garage Ventilation
Solar and electric garage fans remove heat and fumes from enclosed spaces. The systems feature fire-rated dampers, thermal switches, and remote controls for optimal climate management. Available as roof-mounted or interior-mounted units, these solutions improve air quality while protecting stored vehicles and equipment from temperature extremes.

Questions
What are tubular skylights and how do they work?
Tubular skylights capture sunlight through a rooftop dome, channel it through highly reflective tubing, and diffuse it into interior spaces using ceiling fixtures. This system provides consistent natural light without structural modifications.
Do Solatube International products reduce energy costs?
Yes, our daylighting systems reduce lighting energy use by up to 94% while integrated ventilation solutions lower AC costs by efficiently managing indoor temperatures and air quality.
Are installations disruptive to my home?
Our certified dealers complete installations in about two hours with minimal disruption, requiring no structural changes to roofs or ceilings during standard tubular skylight installations.
Can Solatube International products be used in commercial buildings?
Yes, our SkyVault and SolaMaster series are specifically engineered for commercial applications, providing daylighting solutions for large spaces like schools, offices, and industrial facilities.
What warranty coverage is available?
Warranty terms vary by product but typically include 10-year coverage for daylighting systems and 5-year protection for ventilation components, with some solar-powered models qualifying for extended coverage.
