It makes the roof last longer, and I have notice a much reduced bill in electricity, You would have to live a very long time to get all your money back. I also got a tax write-off as they are IRS deductible.

I chose the optiplex type lens, that throws off rainbows. I never need to turn on a light during the day. 2 are tied to existing light switches for nighttime use. I have a CFL bulb but led type lights can be obtained. It's very easy to change a bulb but I don't think I will ever have to, as my lights, are on only, a few minutes a day.

I guess one can get these items cheaper, but you get what you paid for. The difference in price will come down to pennies a day, over the lifetime of solar tubes.

The Solar Guys are courteous, reliable and knowledgable. It was a pleasure to do business with them. I am a very happy camper with the quality of their products, along with a professional installation. No runs, drips, or errors, and it rained heavily a couple of times after installation.

As my son says, "buy it nice or buy it twice".

BTW - I am not a rep for The Solar Guys but a happy customer. Thanks to Tim, Larry and Ed for a job well done.
