Proven Performance – Why Tasmanians Choose Solatube
When Argus first introduced Solatube, around 75% of our installations were in the Econotube range. Today, that’s changed dramatically. The Solatube Brighten Up® DS Series (The Miracle Skylight) now represents around 70% of our business — a clear sign that Tasmanian homeowners see the long-term value in superior daylighting performance.
Customers consistently tell us they notice:
- Brighter, more even natural light
- Improved thermal comfort year-round
- Reduced reliance on artificial lighting
Our services include skylight installation Tasmania-wide, replacement skylight domes, leaking skylight repair, and ongoing skylight repairs and maintenance. We also install solar powered roof ventilation to reduce heat build-up and moisture, protecting your home from mould and condensation.
Thanks to our local installers in each region, most projects can be completed within 14–21 days.

Many thanksread more

Glenn was easily able to replace 2 of our dome skylights from the 90s with completely new set ups. The new ones look great externally and daytime lighting inside the bathroom and the laundry is so good that at first I kept thinking I’d left a light on! Work was done within an hour!

I'm servicing by Solartube since 2020 and have only positive experience both with their products as well with the level of tech support and installation. IMHO it's really the best company in Sydney in this area of competition.In addition, this is the letter of appreciation to Rohan Khan for his... perfect communication and professional skills that helped me to find the really best solution for my current requirements based on value/money solution. Guys, you are the real Champions!Great thank you!read more
Marcus is fantastic. Did great job in our property with 2 Solartube lights and ventilators. Awesome at communication, highly efficient and great quality work. Awesome work guys, need more employees like Marcus.
We had 2 solar tubes installed to lighten our kitchen and family rooms. Very happy with the result. Rob was knowledgeable, efficient and provided exemplary service. I received 2 quotes, the other company advised a solar tube would not work in the kitchen and didn’t even quote me for it. Rob... reassured me it would work,I had it installed and it’s brilliant, as bright as the one in the family room, couldn’t be happierread more
Just had my second Solatube Skylight installed, number one was in my first home 30+years ago, the( Heavenly Performance) skylight along with roof ventilation (RM1600 ) and room ventilation. Bill, the installation chap and salesman was just a delight to deal with, courteous , knowledgeable, did a... great job as well as being on time ( even early) to put the product in ! He left the property clean and tidy , not leaving any rubbish behind. I can’t recommend these products enough and the skylight will definitely save me $$ in lighting. Thank you Solatube. in South Australiaread more
The whole experience from my first phone call to the on site quote to installation was exceptional. Be it a simple skylight that has lit up the entire hallway - the service was the best I've had in a very long time..In an era of 'bad service' everywhere, it was SUCH A PLEASURE to deal with a group... of efficient, friendly and caring people. Good on you guys - we'll spread this news everywhere.We'll get you back for the next big job after kitchen renovations.😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 xxread more
Highly recommended from the first phone call to installation. I had installedSolartube skylights. So happy with the result. Highly recommend Coastal Skylight and Ventilation.
Solatube Home service was second to none. Reliable and honest installation was quick and easy. Cannot believe the difference it’s made to our home. Better than our existing Velux. Highly recommended
We love our Solatube! Whilst completing renovations, bringing light into the Master Bedroom was a must!Solatube Miracle Skylight installed by Air Light Insulation was the perfect solution!
Very happy with the installation. The installer made every effort to work through a difficult problem. To successfully install both Solar tubes. Thanks
Quick service and very efficient skylight.I installed three skylights for a reasonable deal.The quality of hardware and amount of reflected light is very impressive and bright.Highly recommend them.
Unbelievably happy with the difference the two skylights have made to my kitchen, family and dining rooms. So bright inside what was a very dark, dull, depressing room. Will definitely get more installed in future. Also had roof ventilation installed, time will tell how they go but if anything like... the skylights they’ll be brilliant. Very professional, reliable and efficient service. Highly recommend!read more
Best people to deal with.We are amazed with the Product.We had 290Ds installed and it has brighton up the living , dinning and kitchen area. We don't have to turn lights on during the day.Also, from organising the initial site visit and all the way upto the final installation, customer... service was excellent. Installation was clean and without any issues.Thank you. Superb experience & highly recommendedread more
Quick and efficient service by personable staff in the sales stage. Install by Guy was fast, efficient and tidy. He knows the product and was able to overcome positional difficulties within the roof space.Cost was very competitive.
We are so happy with our solar tube. Installation was very straight forward done in 1 hour. The difference it makes in our hall way is amazing. I can highly recommend skylights plus. Very professional .
Rang, and I spoke with Jonathan, and a date and time was agreed upon. Marcus showed up on time on the day and time as arranged. Marcus was very pleasant and helpful. The quote was received the following day, which I was very happy with. I made the deposit payment, and I was contacted immediately... to organise the installation. Again, a date and time was agreed upon. The day before the installation, I was called to confirm if everything was good to proceed and informed Marcus, and a coworker would be completing the installation. They arrived on time and they were very good at their work. The difference this new skylight has made to our kitchen compared to our 25 year old skylight is unbelievable. It really looks like a light has been left on. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the fantastic service, workmanship, and quality of the product. We would highly recommend Solartube to anyone considering having a skylight installed or an old one replaced.read more

Thanks to James and the team at Solatube, they transformed my mother’s house from a dark environment to a much more liveable place. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of skylights to have a look at solatube very impressed Daniel
This is my second solar tube installation from this company and the gentleman that put this skylight in today was highly professional and very informative. I am wrapped with the overall finish and workmanship. I will recommend this company again!
I had the Solar Roof vent installed extremly fast and efficient installation we still have to test the Summer months but has been through some heavy rain and no leaks
Great product has let so much light into my dark hallway. Contractors were very efficient and friendly. Thank you.
Glen was very professional and friendly, answering all our questions.He came and installed our solar tube and cleaned up afterwords.I'd recommend this company as they are prompt and easy to deal with
Very happy with my new roof ventilation system, once installed the house immediately transformed into a cooler environment. The Solartube RM1600 roof vent was installed and my old whirlybird re-located and it has made all the difference. I was happy with the whole process and can 100% recommend.
Thank you Cheryl-Anne. Another wonderful job done. Professional, tidy and such a neat job and great product. A lovely lady to top it all off 😊
It's hard to figure what went wrong for the bad reviewer....perhaps it was about a different company. we found this supplier to be just the best - from Marcin who was a helpful and knowledgable consultant, to the office staff and Marcus the installer who was friendly and efficient.Good price,... responsive and acted quickly. Great product.We couldn't be happier - 11/10 to Solatube !read more
Fast quote on site. Installation within a week. No fuss and bother. No mess. Only an hour from start to finish. The area which now has natural light is so much better and bright. Would highly recommend this product.
Cheryl Anne is amazing! If you need a new skylight/ventilation - look no further! The quality of products installed is beyond spectacular and having a tradie who has great communication and turns up on time is rare. Thank you Cheryl Anne 😊
Very happy with my purchase of a solar vent from Skylights Plus.They had it installed no problem and it makes a massive difference to the heat coming from the roof cavity.Solar powered fan is more or less silent so no problems with that either (early days yet but hopefully the motor lasts a long... time)!read more
Oh my,, it’s really amazing to have own SKYDOME or SKYLIGHT, worth to have at home to give brightness during summer time and winter time, without using ELECTRICITY. Perfectly installed by SOLATUBE COMPANY AUSTRALIA, and I’m so blessed with these staff, installer Simon made a good job I am... impressed of his skills, Martin who made visit physically to assess spot where to install the Solatube device and Jonathan from the office in Weatherill nsw who processed all docs and bills, very thankful to met these people, with professionalism higly skilled on their respective role in the company,,read more
Solar tube products are amazing and I throughly recommend them. Initialling I was told a three week wait for installation. I told Glen I really wanted them both in before my wedding as the reception was at home and the areas would require the lights to be on full time all day to be functional. Glen... moved an appointment and my install was booked so I could not have been happier.Glen arrived early that day and completed both installations within a couple of hours. He was professional, kind and courteous and cleaned up everything leaving my kitchen and living areas meticulously spotless. I am thrilled with the outcome. My friends at the wedding reception said why do I have lights on during the day. I said I don’t that’s Solartube skylights…they are amazing. Very happy to recommend service and product. Thank you Glen.read more
Had an older skylight replaced and a new one installed. I love it. It was installed by Lady on the Roof who looked after everything. The new lights are awesome and make a huge difference. They were very professional and left the place clean and tidy. They gave honest advice that saved me a lot of... money. Very happy with the quality af work and service. The solar tubes themselves have made a big difference. Wish I had done it a lot sooner.read more
Incredibly effective and efficient way to light up your dark rooms.I have four SolaTubes on my house roof and they have been lighting up dark rooms for the past 25 years.It is good to see the company is still operating after all these years.Very pleased and impressed with this product.
Thanks heaps to Solatube for sending Tim to instal some skylights in my home. He was extremely polite and personable taking care to listen to all I explained to him as to where I'd like the lights and the desirable effect I was hoping could be achieved. He was a willing listener and also gave good... advice as to what would be most suitable for each area needing more light. He worked quickly & efficiently with great results that I'm really happy with.He made sure he cleaned up well & checked if there was anything else I needed to ask before leaving.Thanks so much Tim you did a wonderful job, it's great walking around & enjoying having good light coming in to the places that needed it.read more
We had 2 Solatube Solar exhaust fans installed in September, difference so far (Spring only) is amazing, not cheap but do the job!After installation service is excellent, we had a leak in bedroom ceiling down light last night close to 1 exhaust unit, Robert came out same day as we called, checked... it out and issue is with Solar Panels conduit not Solatube exhaust unit (photos taken). Robert temporarily fixed problem for us until we can get Solar Panel guys back out to seal leak. Definitely recommend!read more
Tim was awesome wtih my installation - quick and efficient and provided some much needed counsel on additional products. The Solatubes really are an amazing product and I found his advice genuine and helpful. Big shout out to Alicia also who was super professional and provided outstanding customer... service along the way. Well done guys and thank you.read more
With Solatube Brisbane no problem is too difficult to solve. They are a business that caters to the custom needs of the customer. Complete customer satisfaction is placed ahead demands for payment. The salesman, tradesmen and office staff are friendly, efficient and highly professional. This... business is very highly recommended. Brisbane, Queenslandread more
Great job that was done in a professional manner. The installer was able to advise the best location for our solar tube and this has made a huge difference to our previously dark stairwell.
We got a good quote fast. The guys came in for installation and realised due to the roof inclination that they need to modify the product a bit so we get more light. Did the job on a future appointment and we are very happy with the result. I do Recommend them and will use the company again
From the initial phone call to the office, the quote, the installation the final payment and emailed info. we experienced, knowledgeable, communicative people, who made sensible suggestions and did what they said they would do, when they said they would do it.Well done to ALL the team!(Note:... We had two solar tubes installed a few years ago so we already knew it was a bloody good product!)read more
Quote to install in 2 weeks. Brightened up our kitchen and dining area. Its like night and day!!Recommended.
I had 2 solar roof ventilators installed prior to summer and they are making an obvious difference to the temperature and comfort of the house. During the damp weather the house also seems less humid inside. The team were really helpful from discussing requirements to the installation, which was... very professionally done.Highly recommended as much better alternative to the traditional whirlybird.read more
All of the staff I interacted with were pleasant, friendly and professional. From quote to installation to result has been very positive. The products have exceeded expectation and we are delighted with the result. Money well spent. Would definitely recommend them and would use them again.
Installed 3 solatube's for us. Great service and very helpful and respectful installers. The products are really amazing and let in so much light. Definitely money well spent!
Awesome experience from initial quote, install booking and actual installation on my roof.
Excellent timing to obtain a quote and then to install my solatube. The result is outstanding
Yesterday I had Solatube install 4 solatubes in my house. Wow what a difference it made to my dark house. It is now flooded with lots of natural light. Jayden & Hayden who were the installers were so efficient, friendly & did a fantastic job, nothing was too much trouble. Even installed a Solar... Star for roof ventilation as well at a great price.I thoroughly recommend this product & company & wish I had them installed years ago. Very happy customer. 😁👍read more
Had fitted 2 weeks ago and awesome. It's like having a light on since we had a house built next door .So worth it.
This was great service. Solatube made it very easy . We needed a plasterer and an electrician for this install as well as Jack our Solatube installer. Jack was great ... He gave us great advice. Just wish we had done it years earlier.
Happy with the product and service. The installer was knowledgable and the sales team were very reponsive. Thank you very much
It's amazing what a difference it is made to the light we have in the house. Very accomodating and friendly team.
I had Solatubes installed in my previous house a few years ago and didn't regret it for a minute. They look great and the amount of light it brings into a dark room is just wonderful. The most important thing for me was not to bring heat in as I live in the Hawkesbury, so summers here are already... hot enough - this product certainly delivers....light but no heat at all. I have just had two installed in our new house and am in love with them all over again. Well worth the expense.read more
I was very impressed with the service of your staff, from the receptionist with her cheery greeting (how can we light up your day?) to the field sales manager (Luke). I was pleased to know the representative who quoted my job also did the installation. Great follow through. Thank you.
We had a a Solatube skylight installed recently into our new house by Ryan and have been very happy with the results. Our staircase is centered to the house and has no windows for natural light resulting in a very dark space after installing the Solatube light the difference was stunning. The whole... stairs and landing is covered and nice and bright all day long. Only suggestion would be to look at increasing the output of the "nightlight" within the skylight. This is essentially a solar powered set of LED's that allow a small amount of light through at night. The light output from them is not enough to prevent you from turning on the main lights of your house at night but does make the room feel less gloomyread more

Very happy with the work done, Christian was professional, courteous and conscientious. I was reluctant to get a quote due to bad experiences with other vendors previously for unrelated products. Very happy with the Solatube install from Daylight Designs.

This comapny is very trustworthy from sales enquiry to installation process.The installer " Christian Colinard " was very honest and professional. He has looked into my attic space and a roof cavity very thoroughly and given me the best advice and solutions. (Solatube is definitely not a comapany... who comes to install and get my money.) I was very appreciated how they tried to improve our roof ventilation.Sales people are also very helpful and quick to respond. I have a lot of good comments about Solatube products itself previously . They provide 10 yrs warranty with 5 yrs solar related parts. You can buy something like this from Bunnings but they only provide 2 yrs warranty and they are not made from USA.read more
