VISTA, Calif. (April 6, 2021) — Solatube International Inc., the worldwide leading manufacturer and marketer of tubular daylighting devices (TDDs), is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
The company invented energy-efficient TDDs (also known as tubular skylights), which harvest daylight at the rooftop, transfer it down a highly reflective tube, and distribute it evenly into an interior space through a diffuser at the ceiling — on both sunny and cloudy days — with virtually no maintenance.
From residential to commercial, each Solatube installation has helped to conserve resources and protect the environment for a better future.

TUBULAR DAYLIGHTING DEVICES DEBUTED IN 1991
“By conservative estimates, we have sold enough Solatube TDDs to offset 137,180,000 pounds in carbon emissions annually," said Solatube International President Robert E. Westfall, Jr. "That equates to taking 11,430 cars off the road for a full year!”
The first Solatube product was sold in 1991. Today more than 2 million people have Solatube TDDs in their homes. Millions more have enjoyed the benefits at department stores, schools, hotels, hospitals, grocery stores, offices, and athletic facilities. Fortune 500 brands have enhanced their customers’ experiences while reducing their corporate energy costs by incorporating Solatube products into their stores, offices, and facilities.

For Solatube, 30 years of innovation and thought leadership has evolved into cutting-edge daylighting products that will continue to deliver energy-efficient solutions that inspire and shine pure, natural light on residential and commercial spaces across the world.
