I think that's a big fire risk, go thru roof with duct

Any disadvantages to solar tubes, i.e. is it ever too much light?
yes, I think so but double check, the tax credit is off your taxes not income, so it's dollar for dollar.

Don't get that many, buy one & see what you think.

disadvantage is a slight loss of heat/cool from ceiling penetration, lightning will be showing flashes at night
