Carolina Energy Conservation Case Studies: Dark Home? No Longer!
Challenge
Homeowners Mary and Ray built their Lakeside Crossing home in 2019, and quickly became Solatube lovers, installing two in their home, as well as an attic fan and garage fan. With the help of our Solatube Specialist Mary Moriarty and Peter Barczak, the homeowners installed two more tubes in their homes. Now their home has beautiful natural light flowing throughout.
Solution
Our Solatube Daylighting Systems are fitted with the most advanced technologies available, from the sunlight-capturing dome to the reflective tube. Our tubular skylights install quickly with no major modifications to the attic or roof. Our Solatubes now have a night light feature that uses integrated solar-electric technology to store and generate energy. Because of this solar technology, our Solatube products are eligible to receive a 51% tax credit on their project. How this works is that businesses and homeowners can receive up to 51% of what they spend on solar energy products back in tax credits from the IRS and the state of South Carolina. There is a 26% federal tax credit “rebate” and 25% state tax credit “rebate” to receive on tax returns the following year.
Solatube also has created solar ventilation solutions for attics and garages. Our attic fans prevent heat and moisture from reaching high levels in the attic which will help lower the home's energy bills and keep the home comfortable. The garage fan removes heat and fumes in the garage, making it a cool space to work on your car, your fitness, or your next great project.
