Solatube is a solar tube skylight that's more energy efficient than standard skylights and far easier to install. The Solatube tubular skylight model delivers an EDCS (Effective Daylight Capture Surface) nearly double that of copycat products. Solatube provides natural daylight that can transform a dark room of any size.
