What Is A Solar Tube Or Tubular Skylight?

Natural light skylights, also known as solar tubes, do not contribute to heat loss or gain unlike some other types of skylights do. Save more money by installing tubular skylights vs installing traditional or incandescent skylights. What is a solar tube? Solar tubes and tubular skylights are the exact same thing. They both mean “natural lighting systems” and they can allow for any room to be transformed into a brighter, more vivid area.

How do tubular skylights work? Tubular skylights work by capturing the sun via a dome that is installed on your roof, then the sun travels through a reflective solar tube before it gets bounced around many times through a pipe that captures sunlight, even when the sun is in a low position. These solar tubes also help filter out the harmful UV rays that the sun produces. Will tubular skylights still work if its cloudy outside or the sun is low? Yes, we use high quality solar cells that work even if the sun is low or there is an overcast. Your tubular skylight system will work when the sun is very low or even a very cloudy day.
