San Diego is where Solatube Home began. As the original home of the Solatube Daylighting System, our San Diego team has spent decades bringing natural light and fresh air into local homes, with professional skylight installation, tubular skylights, skylight replacement, whole house fans, and attic fans throughout San Diego County.

Solatube Home helped start the daylighting industry. Our company’s founder co-invented the very first tubular skylight more than 30 years ago, and we have since installed over 100,000 daylighting and ventilation systems nationwide, many of them right here in San Diego County. Our showroom in Vista is open to homeowners who want to see daylight in action.

Many San Diego homes struggle with dark interior spaces, limited natural light, and excessive attic heat, especially during warmer months. Our certified installers know the roofing materials, attic conditions, and Southern California climate common across San Diego, La Mesa, Chula Vista, El Cajon, Poway, and surrounding communities, and they design daylighting and ventilation solutions to match.

As a licensed and insured contractor (CA License #1112590) and authorized Solatube Premier Dealer, we deliver fast, clean installations backed by industry-leading warranties. From your free in-home consultation to a same-day installation, our San Diego team makes the process easy.

Highly recommend Solartube to anyone searching for passive lighting options. The sales person that visited was knowledgeable and a no pressure approach. The office was efficient and straight forward w/prices and scheduling. The installer, Antonio, was communicative-efficient and a really nice guy.

We hired Solatube in 2021 to replace an old skylight. The first two winters were relatively dry, so we didn’t experience any issues. However, during the third winter, when we received more rain, our roof began leaking around the Solatube.I contacted the company multiple times by both phone and email but never received a response. Eventually, my husband had to put a tarp over the area to prevent further water damage. Life got busy, and we put the issue on the back burner.With the possibility of a wet winter ahead, I recently hired another company to inspect the installation. I was shocked to learn that, according to their assessment, Solatube hadn’t even replaced the original skylight flashing. The workmanship was apparently so poor that the contractor described it as looking like something a 12-year-old had done.We initially chose Solatube because their quote was significantly more affordable than the alternatives. At the time, I thought we were getting a great deal. Unfortunately, this has turned into a perfect example of getting what you pay for. Between the questionable installation, the resulting leak, and the complete lack of response when we tried to get help, I’m extremely disappointed. What should have been a straightforward skylight replacement has turned into an ongoing headache. I would absolutely not recommend this company.

Such a fantastic experience starting with Marco who came out and answered all my questions, including responding promptly to the many I had later as I was weighing my options. Then the installation team lead by Julio was fantastic both when they came out to verify measurements and then again to install. So professional, friendly and committed to meeting my needs and making sure I was happy with the outcome. And of course my new skylight looks fantastic. Kudos to both the product and the customer service. I will definitely recommend this company.

Marco, Aaron and the Solatube team were extremely timely and efficient, from my initial contact on their website to the installation consultation at my home (quickly yielding a quotation), to the final installation. The job was to replace an 18 year old attic fan with an equivalent new model that was more efficient and powerful. I couldn't have been happier with the entire process.

I used to do work with Solatube, so when we recently moved into a new house with a large open kitchen and living room area with windows on only one side, I already knew that this solution could make a huge difference for brightening it up without needing any lights. Randy came and did an evaluation and Antonio did the installation and it came out fantastic! Fast, easy, professional. My wife already wants to have more installed.

We have used Brighter Concepts/Solartube for several installations over the years (2005, 2013, 2015, 2017, and now again in 2026) and have never experienced any issues until today 7-9-26 is why I only gave them 4 of 5 stars. Arron arrived as scheduled to install our new Solar Powered RM2400 Standard Non-Pitched Low Profile unit. He was professional, and the installation appeared to go smoothly. After he left, I used our in-house attic ladder to inspect the installation. While the overall installation looks good and the fan location is appropriate, I discovered several roofing nails protruding approximately 1–2 inches into the attic space. The fan is located near the 1 o’clock position from the attic ladder entrance, and these exposed nails present a potential safety hazard. Anyone entering the attic who does not immediately notice these nails and duck could suffer a serious head injury. I called the office, sent a photo of my concern, and received a text response recommending that the nails be ground down to a flat or comfortable length. I then replied asking whether Brighter Concepts would be sending someone out to address the issue, as we do not want to perform any work ourselves that could affect or void the warranty. At this time, I have not received a response. Given our long history as a satisfied customer, I would appreciate clarification on how the company intends to resolve this safety concern and whether a technician will be scheduled to correct it. I would use them again but pay more attention to install.

I've been wanting to check this off my bucket list for a while. I used AI to research the top solar tube/skylight options and discovered Solatube. I scheduled an appointment with Marco, who was friendly and attentive. He took the time to listen to what I needed and went upstairs to personally inspect the hallway where I wanted the solar tube installed.He presented two size options, and I chose the larger 14" model to save money instead of installing two smaller ones. Marco then walked me through a detailed brochure, clearly explaining the entire process and how the lighting would work. Their communication was excellent from the start, they texted me a photo along with the arrival time before both Marco and the technician, Aaron. Aaron was very knowledgeable about the installation. We worked together to finalize the exact placement in the hallway, after which he had full autonomy to complete the job. He climbed onto the second-floor roof, accessed the attic, and finished everything in under three hours while keeping the work area clean and tidy. The total cost came to $1,290 for the large 14" solar tube. We couldn’t be happier with the entire experience and the quality of the installation. Communication was professional and consistent from start to finish. I highly recommend Solatube if you want to brighten up dark areas in your home!

Aaron and the other tech did a great job installing our 5 Solatubes. They worked efficiently and professionally, carefully checking for proper clearance before making any cuts. As it turned out, we did have to change the location of one tube due to lack of clearance, but not a problem due to the pre-checking. After installation, we have so much more light. And the guys neatly cleaned up, and also disposed of an unwanted ceiling fan that was replaced by a tube. We're very happy with our Solatube experience!!

This is my third home installing the Solotube product. I have been absolutely delighted with Solotube with every Home.

From start to finish outstanding service! Marco came out and explained the process very clearly. He answered all our questions and was available for any further questions we had. On the day of installation Julio was on time and so professional. He explained everything he was going to do and asked if we had questions. He left everything as clean as he found it. I’m very impressed by his ability and work ethic. I give this company 5 stars without any reservations.

The whole process with Solatube was amazing! Randy, the salesperson, was friendly, on-time, and gave me all the information I needed in a kind and non-pushy manner. I was able to schedule an installation within a couple days and Aaron, the technician, was prompt, capable, and installed the products quickly and left my home nice and clean. I would recommend this company and their products and professionals to anyone interested in solar tubes. My house is so much brighter now and I'm super happy with the service I received! 5 stars for sure!

Antonio and Adrian did a fantastic job with our installation. We had our kitchen done our family room, our hallway and our bathroom. They were professional on time. Courteous, clean and answered all of my questions. They went above and beyond and even changed out extra light bulbs for me. They took their time to educate me on how to change out my own light bulbs later on in the event that I needed to. Highly recommend this company, thank you for helping us upgrade our home. Photos attached are natural light no light switch on. Also to mention it's an overcast morning and we still have plenty of light

Randy, Karen, and the customer service team were amazing! They gave us everything we needed to submit our proposal to our HOA for approval. Installation took longer than expected, not due to anything on their end (red tape and politics with our HOA). Their team was super flexible and kept in contact with us throughout the process on our timeline. When the day finally came, Antonio complete our install. He was awesome and very efficient. He walked me through the entire process and double checked placement. We love our new Solatube. The natural light in our dark kitchen is a game changer and the night light is pretty cool too! Would love to hire them again and wish they did new skylights and not just replacements! 😀

The install guys were young, yet professional & quick & tidy! I was working in my room & they were never noisy. The solar tubes were something I wanted for a few years - however I now wish I had installed them sooner!! The impact is so much more than I imagined. The tubes have brightened up the house so much more than I could have imagined. This also brightened my mood. Don’t hesitate to give them a call. I’ve had them installed about a month & it’s great.

We very much enjoyed our Solatube whole house fan installation experience. From the initial estimate contact to the final install these folks were puntual, professional, clean and met all my expectations. I cannot praise them enough...

The entire solatube process was great. From Randy, who came out to do the survey and the quote, to Silas, who completed the installation faster than expected. He took lots of photos during the process and showed me his work when he was completed… Very clean and professional! the light in these areas really adds a lot of Ambience and functionality to my home, and I'm very happy! So happy that I had another solatube installed by Antonio at another property. Also pleased to say that when there was an issue, Solatube was very fast to come out and take care of it. I am a fan!

The technician, Silas was very friendly, detailed, and professional. The result of the Solar Tube installation made a big difference. But we were little disappointed because we were not able to install it where we really wanted in the kitchen due to some obstacle conditions in the attics. We could have been pre-informed by the sales technician about the existing limitation, which could helped us make an informed decision.

We had a 14 in.² Solatube installed a week ago. It has added a tremendous amount of light to the area and we are very pleased. The installer Antonio was wonderful, efficient and friendly. We were so happy with the results that we added two more a few days ago. Again Antonio and his assistant were great.

Highly recommend Solatube! They installed solar tubes in my home last week. I had dark areas in my bathrooms, hallway, and living room, and wanted more light. I found Solatube on Yelp, and they quickly sent someone for an estimate. They explained options for sizes, shapes, dimmers, and adding an additional light to some of them. They also explained some options that had tax rebates. Scheduling was flexible, and they accommodated my request for a late start on the day of installation. The installation crew was polite, protected the work areas, and went in the room order of installation i wanted, so as to avoid using one of the rooms where a family member needed to sleep in. They consulted me on changing the placement of external openings that in the original plan would have had long hours of shadows. They added some ninety degree angles to pipes. Every change was made with my approval. I'm thrilled with the results--it brightened the rooms exactly as I hoped. The company was professional, easy to work with, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them!

Silas the Solutube technician arrived as scheduled. I discussed some concerns on the placement of the garage exhaust fan and roof O'hagen vents. The best placement was on the single garage ceiling due to limited attic access on double garage side. He was able to plug the fan to a 20 amp outlet about 20 feet away. It took about 3 hours with a helper. Job well done.

Both gentleman were very polite, knowledgeable and professional. In the process we made a few adjustments and Orion went above and beyond to ensure we were pleased with the final product. The cost was very reasonable and process seamless. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas in San Diego County do you serve?

We serve homeowners throughout San Diego County, including San Diego, La Mesa, Chula Vista, El Cajon, Poway, Santee, National City, and surrounding communities. Not sure if we reach your neighborhood? Give us a call; chances are we do.

What products and services do you install in San Diego?

Our San Diego team installs Solatube tubular skylights (daylighting systems), traditional skylight replacement and removal, whole house fans, attic fans, and garage fans. Every product is genuine Solatube, installed by certified technicians.

How does a Solatube Daylighting System work in San Diego Homes?

It captures abundant San Diego sunlight through a high-performance roof dome, channels it down a reflective tube that transfers over 99% of the light, and diffuses it evenly into the room below. The result is bright, natural daylight, even in interior rooms, without the heat gain or leak risk of a traditional skylight.

Will a Solatube system work in rooms without direct roof access?

Often, yes. Because the reflective tubing is compact and flexible, our installers can route daylight from the roof to interior rooms, hallways, closets, and bathrooms that a traditional skylight could never reach. We confirm what is possible during your free in-home consultation.

How long does installation take in the San Diego area?

Most installations take about two to three hours per unit, and many San Diego projects are completed the same day. Your certified installer confirms timing during your free in-home consultation.

Do Solatube products add heat or glare to the home?

No. Solatube daylighting systems are engineered to deliver soft, even, glare-free daylight while blocking most unwanted heat and UV, which makes them well suited to San Diego’s sunny climate.

Can Solatube systems help reduce energy costs in San Diego?

Yes. Natural daylight reduces daytime reliance on electric lighting, while whole house and attic fans cool your home and ease the load on air conditioning. Many systems also qualify for energy-related tax credits.

Are your installers certified and local to San Diego?

Yes. Every installation is performed by local, factory-trained Installation Consultants certified to Solatube International’s standards. Solatube Home is a licensed and insured contractor (CA License #1112590) and an authorized Solatube Premier Dealer with a San Diego-area showroom in Vista.

What should I expect at my free San Diego consultation?

A daylighting and ventilation expert visits your home, reviews the rooms you want to brighten or cool, checks roof and attic conditions, and walks you through your options and pricing. There is no obligation, and many homeowners can schedule installation within days.

Do you offer warranties or maintenance after installation?

Yes. Solatube systems are virtually maintenance-free thanks to their sealed, leak-proof design, and every installation is backed by industry-leading warranties. If you ever have a question, our local San Diego team is here to help.
