The Solatube eChoice 160DS Tubular Daylighting System and Solatube eChoice 290DSe “eChoice” Tubular Daylighting System set performance standards never seen before in solar tube skylighting. Highly effective and simple to install, solar tube skylights brighten up dark interiors with natural daylight. These DSe kits feature advanced thermal dynamics to minimize heat loss in extremely cold climates and heat gain in extremely warm climates. As a result, this product has earned an Energy Star rating.
If your climate is not so extreme that thermal gains/losses through your daylighting/skylight system would be of concern to you, you may prefer the standard Solatube 160DS Tubular Daylighting Systems or Solatube 290DS Tubular Daylighting Systems .
