More Daylight... Less Energy
Solar Tracking Skylights consist of highly
reflective mirror panels within a clear plastic
enclosure, which move continuously to
follow the sun's position in the sky.
By aligning to the exact position of the sun,
the mirrors reflect light down into the space
that would be otherwise lost due to the low
incident angle of the sun through much
of the day.
Years of research and development have
resulted in a patented solar tracking and
reflective optical system to capture the
maximum amount of sunlight when the
sun is at low angles in the sky. This is
especially the case near sunrise and sunset,
throughout the day during winter months
and all year long in northern latitudes.
Benefits of Solar Tracking Skylights vs. Conventional Skylights
- Greater light levels for a longer duration of the day
- Generates up to 4x the light levels
- Lower initial cost and ongoing expense
