OP, noticed this is your first post, so just a suggestion, search this site for the previous threads on solar lights, this will give you lots of background on these items. There is no economic reason to install these, they will never pay for them selves in your lifetime, so the reason to install boils down to natural light versus artificial light.
Please do not shoot the messenger, and I hope this helps.

Excellent point, as usual...! Another positive for this option is one less roof penetration. I have seen some amazing LED light systems....they now change colors, etc!
