I have noticed that houses with the front facing south often need to have solar tubes put in to get more light during the day.

That is a good point. Our house faces east, so our lanai is very shaded in the morning when my wife and I sit there and have our coffee. In the evening, our lanai is in full sun, so we had a small patio built in front of our house so we can sit outside in the shade and see what our neighbors are up to.
In summary, the direction your house faces is VERY important.
