Sunlight lets us enjoy
reading next to a window, keeps us warm, and lifts our spirits. Scientists
today are learning how to use sunlight for its maximum benefits, while avoiding
problems like overheating. You do not have to install solar panels on your home
to enjoy the many benefits of natural sunlight. The Solar Guys can deliver
sunlight where it's needed, and deflect it where it's too strong.
Delivering Daylight
Where It Is Needed
Even if you live in a
sunny climate, there are probably parts of your home that don't receive
sunlight: stairwells, interior bathrooms, and closets are the most common
windowless interior spaces. Compact, tube-shaped skylights can deliver sunlight
to these dark interior spaces, cutting down on the need for artificial lighting
and making your home feel more welcoming and open. These skylights won't spoil
your roofline and install quickly.
Cutting Down on
Sunlight Where There Is Too Much
There are usually times
during the summer when you wish there wasn't so much sunlight beating down on
windows. Closing the drapes can make your home feel dark and uninviting, but
leaving them open causes rooms to heat up. Fortunately, there are products like
Huper Optik - microthin films placed on windows that cut down on sunlight
coming through while preserving your view beautifully.
Using Sunlight to Help
Keep Homes Cooler
Did you know you can
use hot summer sun to help keep your home cooler? Solar Star makes attic fans
that are solar powered. They use bright sunlight to provide power for a fan
that blows hot air out of the attic. A cooler attic means less stress on your
air conditioning system. Solar Star attic fans are unobtrusive and can make a
real difference in your summer cooling bills.
Lower Energy Bills and
a Greener, More Comfortable Home
With today's
technology, sunlight can be harnessed to increase comfort and lower utility
costs. Dark spaces can be beautifully illuminated with skylights, windows can
let in light but block heat, and attic fans can be powered by the sun to help
your air conditioner work efficiently. Let The Solar Guys show you how.
