Now that the fall harvest is upon us it’s time to start preparing for winter and then spring! Starting an indoor garden this winter can be easy and fun, its also a great way to have fresh produce around all year and to get a jump start on your garden for next year.

With school now in full swing let’s take a look around the nation at what different schools are doing to lower their carbon footprints.  Many schools have begun to turn to solar skylight tubes to bring natural light into newly renovated buildings lets share some examples. 

In Pennsylvania, James Buchanan High School is undergoing a major overhaul to update the nearly 40-year-old building.  They are also installing solar tubes with the intention of saving on utility expenses and making the school more conducive to learning.

In North Carolina, Watauga High School installed solar light tubes in their school because of the construction not allowing natural light into some of their classrooms.

In Colorado the Ellicott School District 22 installed solar tubes in one of their high schools to allow interior classrooms to have natural light.

In Kentucky, Bristow Elementary is taking steps, including installing solar tubes and ceiling prisms, to become a net-zero school, which means it will produce more clean energy than it uses.

This is a great trend we are seeing.  Installing solar skylight tubes will brighten up all classrooms and they will allow the school to save money on electricity.  If you hear of other schools that are doing this tell us about it.  We want to promote this and get the word out so more schools will follow in this path.

In this article we will share some of the benefits that a business owner can receive by installing solar skylight tubes into their offices, warehouses or even on their farms.  Solar skylights are a great way to brighten any room or work space while saving you money on electricity and taxes.

Solar skylight tubes are a great addition to any home.  While talking to our customers we found that some knew they needed more light in their homes but they weren't always sure where the best places to install the skylight tubes were.   We have created a list of the top 5 uses for solar light tubes  in home installations. Solar light tubes can also be used in warehouses and other buildings but for right now we want to focus on in-home installations.

There seems to be a lot of controversy on the web about which terms should be used to refer to solar light tubes, also known by solar skylight tubes and many more. To help put this controversy to rest, we decided to collect all the terms that are used to refer to these solar skylight tubes so that people can decide for themselves which name or names they feel would be the best to use.
