Who are Solatube
As a pioneer of the daylighting industry and the global leader in tubular daylighting devices for more than 25 years, Solatube International has perfected the capture and transmission of daylight indoors where it was once thought impossible. The maxim “Innovation in Daylighting™” reflects the company’s commitment to the development of breakthrough daylighting technologies, which has resulted in numerous patents dating back to the mid-1980s.

The team that invented it
The concept of the tubular daylighting system was originally patented by Steve Sutton, one of the founders of Solatube Australia, back in the 1980s.
Since those early days, Solatube has expanded into over 90 countries and Solatube is now the best-known and most trusted brand in the industry.
Today, Solatube Daylighting Systems are affordable, high-performance lighting solutions that bring daylight into interior spaces where traditional skylights and windows simply can’t reach. Sometimes called “tubular skylights,” “light tubes,” “sun pipes,” "sun tunnels" and even “light tunnels”, tubular daylighting systems have become the ideal solution for lighting interiors in a cost-effective, energy-efficient and eco-friendly way because they reduce the need for electricity while keeping people connected to the outdoor environment.
Solatube is the best-known brand in the industry for a reason; our daylighting systems use the best materials, the most advanced technologies, and the most progressive engineering to create products that deliver the highest quality daylight at the greatest output. In fact, millions of units have been installed in residential and commercial buildings over the last 25 years and we install more each day.
