Let natural light brighten your home

Better than Large Skylights – Bigger Isn’t Better

Solatube Skylights offer an effective natural daylighting solution, far superior to traditional window and roof skylights. Our advanced optical technologies, including solar skylight accessories, capture more daylight at the dome and distribute it evenly across the entire room, enhancing both sustainability and energy efficiency. The Solatube 290DS tubular skylight can deliver the same light output as a traditional skylight five times its size, with only one-fifth of the heat gain. Unlike larger skylights, our tubular skylights eliminate common issues such as glare, poor thermal performance, excessive heat in summer, heat loss in winter, and potential leaks. With custom flashings tailored to various roof profiles, our skylights ensure a leak-proof, durable, and visually appealing fit.

3 Important aspects when choosing skylights

The Dome & Fitting

Other skylights on the market feature basic domes that capture only a fraction of available light, often leading to subpar performance. Solatube Australia’s Brighten Up series is engineered to deliver superior light performance, energy efficiency, and thermal performance that outshines any other product on the market. Our innovative dome technology captures low-angle light and directs it inward through the tube, much like a lighthouse in reverse,
delivering the most natural daylight of any product on the market. Our custom flashing ensures a perfect fit for your specific roof profile, whether pitched or flat, guaranteeing a leak-proof, durable, and aesthetically pleasing installation.

The Tube

Solatube’s Brighten Up series features tubing made from the most reflective material in the world, nearly doubling the light performance during winter compared to any other product on the market. Our innovative Cool Tube technology, known as INFRAREDuction, minimises heat gain in summer and prevents heat loss in winter, ensuring energy efficiency and comfort year-round. Unlike low-quality alternatives, our tubing maintains its superior reflectivity for over 10 years, directing maximum daylight into every corner of your space with unmatched durability and performance.

The Diffuser

The diffuser plays a crucial role in both light diffusion and aesthetic appeal. Solatube offers a wide range of skylight diffuser styles to match the look and feel of your home, enhancing the beauty of natural light. Our diffusers are designed to work seamlessly with our skylight models, providing consistent and efficient lighting throughout the day.

FAQs about skylights

Do skylights bring heat into the home?

Not ours. Solatube utilises INFRAREDuction technology, a proprietary process to extract infrared wavelengths on the first light bounce before they can be transferred through the tube, dispersing heat before it ever enters the building. This ensures that your home stays cool and comfortable while enjoying ample natural light.

How much does a skylight cost?

The cost of a Solatube skylight varies depending on factors such as skylight size, product features, and installation requirements. One of our Solatube experts will provide an accurate quote tailored to your specific needs. See more information on our Tubular Skylight Costs and Comparison guide.

How do tubular skylights work?

Tubular skylights capture natural light through a roof-mounted dome and redirect it down a reflecting tube, delivering it into your interior spaces. Solatube’s Brighten Up series features tubing made from the most reflective material in the world, making our tubular skylights the most effective in balancing light output and heat gain. The Solatube 290DS tubular skylight
delivers the same amount of light output as a traditional skylight five times its size, with only one-fifth of the heat gain.

Are Skylights Hail Proof?

Yes, our domes are made from high-quality acrylic resin for increased impact strength, chemical, and weather resistance. Solatube is cyclone rated and in cyclone areas, we offer the Shock Inner Dome for the Brighten Up® Series to ensure durability and safety. See for yourself how our domes hold up in a hailstorm.

Are Skylights Energy Efficient?

Not all skylights are created equal, our tubular skylights maximise sunlight use, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. This not only saves on electricity bills but also reduces your carbon footprint.

Can You Add a Skylight to an Existing Roof?

Yes. Your home doesn’t require major ceiling or wall alterations. Our experts will install your skylights in just a couple of hours, fitting them between your existing components. Whether you have a pitched roof or a flat roof, our skylight installation process is designed to be quick and efficient.

Can You Install a Skylight Yourself?

While it is possible, we always recommend having one of our trained Solatube Premier Dealers do the installation to ensure a perfect fit and optimal performance.

Our trained installers will have the job done in 2-3 hours, meanwhile, you will need to allow 4-10 hours for a DIY install.

Do Skylights Need Planning Permission?

Some minor building renovations, like our tubular skylights, don’t require planning or building approval. However, it’s important to check your state policy and/or Strata for exempt and complying developments.

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.

Tony Watson

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.

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

Colleen Powter

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 .

Sharon Helder

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

Reanne Goes

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

YVONNE

Excellent service from Cheryl-Anne right from the quote to installation. Wished I had installed the skylight a long time ago, the difference is incredible. Many thanks

Margaret Koimans

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.

colleen weavell

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

Trevor Wilson

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

Maria Caponas

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.

ric day

Very happy with the result following installation of our Solatube. Our room, where we are spending too much time because of lockdown, is very much brighter. The brightness achieved is very impressive. Installation was quick and professional, and clean-up efficient too.

A Barakat

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

TnT

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

Phil Robinson

Quote to install in 2 weeks. Brightened up our kitchen and dining area. Its like night and day!!Recommended.

Andrew Harris

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

Peter Neeson

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.

Awesome experience from initial quote, install booking and actual installation on my roof.

John Priestly

Excellent timing to obtain a quote and then to install my solatube. The result is outstanding

Ann Crowley

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

Brent Watts

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.

Bernard Roberts

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.

Jignesh Sinh

Happy with the product and service. The installer was knowledgable and the sales team were very reponsive. Thank you very much

Tim Birks

Installed a couple of tubular skylights and solar vent - went smoothly and added light to dim areas

Anthony Perl

It's amazing what a difference it is made to the light we have in the house. Very accomodating and friendly team.

John Maya

Great job by Jack with the installation & on time. Highly recommend

Sue Bellos

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

Lyn Sherwood-Jones

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.

Christian Neyle

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

Christian Neyle

Robert MacLennan

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.

Robert MacLennan

Yangju Leyton

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
