On average, if you install a solar water heating system, your heating bills should drop 50-80%. Because the sun's energy is free, you're immune to fuel shortages and price hikes.

Solar water heating systems do not produce harmful emissions and every system installed in the U.S. decreases our reliance on toxic fossil fuels.

VELUX solar collectors have been designed to hug the roof-line, creating a streamlined, aesthetically pleasing appearance.

D is for De-Light!


Vitamin D is often referred to as the “sunshine” vitamin because our bodies can make it when our skin is exposed to the sun. About 10-15 minutes of sun exposure per day on our face, hands and arms—without sunscreen—is enough to meet our needs.

Adequate vitamin D levels are thought to reduce risk of breast, colon and prostate cancers and play a preventative role in multiple sclerosis, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Vitamin D has been recognized for its role in enhancing calcium absorption, thereby promoting good bone health. Emerging research suggests that vitamin D may be involved in optimal functioning of the immune system, mental activities and in reducing risk of periodontal disease—a chronic inflammatory gum disease that can lead to tooth loss.

Installing natural daylighting doesn’t just improve the value of your home and save you money on electrical bills. Sunlight regulates our biological rhythms, governs our immune system, and balances our brain chemistry. Daylight relieves eye strain, fatigue, depression, insomnia, and increases the efficiency of the heart. All of these benefits will add value to your life.

Save even more money on VELUX Solar Hot Water Systems


Save money in more ways than one. Right now there is an additional rebate of $750.00 for VELUX Solar Hot Water systems.

Consumers nationwide can take advantage of a federal "cash for appliances" program offering rebates on purchases of a wide array of home appliances certified as energy-efficient by the EPA's Energy Star program.

Heating and cooling equipment, appliances, and water heaters as these products offer the greatest energy savings potential. Energy Star qualified appliance categories eligible for rebates include: central air conditioners, heat pumps (air source and geothermal), boilers, furnaces (oil and gas), room air conditioners, clothes washers, dishwashers, freezers, refrigerators, and water heaters.

How do You Qualify?

All consumers will need to do to get the rebate is simply buy any qualifying Energy Star appliance. Unlike the "cash for clunkers" fuel-efficient vehicle rebate program, you don't even need an old trade-in appliance. In addition, consumers will not be required to haul their bulky old appliances to the dealer in exchange for a new one.

Backed by an initial $300 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the state-run rebate program is intended to help make American homes more energy-efficient while further stimulating the economy.

For more details and rebate forms got to: www.cash4appliances.org

Natural light improves your life

Are you falling asleep on the job?

Lack of sunlight in the workplace is a misdemeanor.


The more you miss, the meaner you get.



Several independent studies have shown that the lack of natural light can lead to drowsiness, poor health, bad attitude, and low productivity.


  • Schools that make use of skylights and tubular skylights see better concentration and improved test scores.
  • Natural lighting in stores produces higher profits and more pleasant employee/customer relations.
  • Customers are more relaxed in day-lit stores and can see the products and labels clearly.
  • Customers seem to have positive feelings about the day-lit stores and identify those stores with an airy clean feeling.
  • A store with skylights is observed to have a higher sales index than an equivalent store without natural light.
  • Skylights increase productivity in manufacturing buildings and morale in office buildings.


There is a definite relationship between day-lighting and human performance and there additional benefits to natural lighting as well:


  • Lowers your power bills by reducing electricity used to illuminate the room
  • Brings less heat into interior spaces unlike electric lights
  • Reduces your carbon footprint

Increase your daylight delight.

Is Your Attic too Hot?


Have you ever been up in your attic on a sunny summer day? Attic temperatures can easily become 30 to 50 degrees higher than the outside temperature. You may not realize that these extreme temperatures can be damaging to your home.

- Extreme heat can deteriorate your wiring insulation and can cause the laminate on your plywood to peel off.


- Keeping your attic cooler will drop the temperature of your home, saving you money and making life more comfortable


- Reducing attic temperatures can prolong the life of your roof. The heat can bake your composition shingles into brittle chips.


- Reducing the heat buildup protects possessions you may be storing in your attic.


- Proper attic ventilation helps prevent fumes in your home from building up. Some water heaters have vents into the attic and may be leaking gases such as carbon monoxide


- When you turn on the faucet, does your water run hot then cold? Your pipes may run through your attic and the sitting water is being steamed in the heat.


Save your home with the SunRise Solar Attic Fan.

The SunRise Solar Attic Fan has a built in solar panel powering a whisper quiet fan that sucks the excess heat out of your attic. Since it gets its power from the sun, it costs you nothing to operate. The SunRise Fan is so quiet you won’t even know it is running and it is completely automatic. Reducing your attic temperature will reduce your cooling energy bills and protect the life of your home.



The SunRise Solar Attic Fan comes in various sizes to fit your ventilation needs:


850 = 11 watts 1050 = 15 watts 1250 = 20watts

Up To 1200 square ft 1200-1600 square ft 1600-2000square ft



Contact Naturalight today to get free information on how you can cool you attic with free power from the sun.

Keep yourself cool and support the our economy

United States Senator Dick Lugar recently named Bill Keith, president of SunRise Solar Inc. in St John, Indiana, as a Lugar Energy Patriot for his innovation of solar powered attic fans. The award is part of an ongoing effort by Lugar to recognize members of the business community…who demonstrate leadership and initiative in taking concrete action to reduce America’s dependence on foreign energy sources.


Along with advancing solar power, Keith is committed to keeping his headquarters and production facilities in Indiana. The majority of its raw components come from within the state, and sunrise solar assembles and ships its fans from Warsaw, Indiana.

New VELUX SUN TUNNEL™ SE series qualifies for 30% federal tax credit


By installing VELUX SUN TUNNEL SE series in your primary residence, not only will you get more natural light into your home, you may receive a tax credit of 30% of the price of the product, up to $1500. Utilizing the same proven design of the standard VELUX SUN TUNNEL skylight, the Super Energy Efficient series meets the higher performance standards of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This tax credit program is available through December 31, 2010.

VELUX redesigned the roof dome of the 10” and 14” SUN TUNNELS to reduce the summertime solar heat gain and added an extra insulation space to increase the insulation factor. The end result is that the SE series is even more energy efficient than the standard SUN TUNNEL.

More information is available at www.energystar.gov/tax credit and http://www.veluxusa.com/Consumer/Products/tax_credits/st_tax_credit/default.aspx

The No Leak Skylight


The VELUX deck mounted skylight is now designated The No Leak Skylight. This next generation of VELUX skylights has been developed with three layers of protection that provide air and water barriers for a leak proof installation. For ten years from the date of installation, VELUX warrants that no water will leak through the skylight or between the skylight and the roof deck.



There are now three layers of protection to prevent leaks: (1) the pre-attached deck seal which provides a seal between the skylight frame and the roof deck; (2) adhesive underlayment for a secondary leak protection; (3) the VELUX engineered flashing for primary water protection.


All three models of VELUX deck mounted skylights, fixed, manual venting, and electric venting, are covered by the 10-year no leak product and installation warranty.
