Financing Through Synchrony
Some projects are easier to move forward on when you can spread the cost over time. SolBright Skylights partners with Synchrony to offer consumer financing options that can help make larger daylighting and ventilation projects more feasible, depending on approval and available promotional terms at the time of purchase.
How it works
- Apply through SolBright Skylights as part of your project planning
- If approved, you may be eligible for promotional financing options (terms vary by offer and location)
- Minimum monthly payments are required, and financing is subject to credit approval
Note About Promotional Financing
Some promotional offers are structured as “no interest if paid in full” within the promotional period. If the promotional balance is not paid in full by the end of the promotional period, interest may be charged from the purchase date.
Financing Options for Solatube Tubular Daylighting
Many homeowners finance daylighting the same way they finance other home improvements: they match the funding approach to the scope, timeline, and household budget.
Common pathways include:
1) Home improvement financing (third-party lending)
Some homeowners use home improvement lending options (through banks, credit unions, or specialty lenders) that are designed for planned projects. These can be a good fit when you want predictable payments and a clear term.
Best for: customers who prefer structured monthly payments and a straightforward approval process.
2) Home equity options (HELOC or home equity loan)
For homeowners with available equity, home equity financing can be a flexible way to fund improvements. The right fit depends on your financial strategy, your timeline, and your lender’s terms.
Best for: larger upgrade plans or homeowners bundling multiple improvements together.
3) Personal loan options
Some homeowners choose unsecured personal loans for speed and simplicity—especially for smaller, targeted projects like improving one or two interior areas.
Best for: smaller scopes or homeowners prioritizing simplicity and speed.
4) Contractor/GC budgeting (for trade partners)
Builders and contractors sometimes incorporate daylighting into the project budget as an upgrade option, especially in remodels, additions, and new builds.
Best for: projects where daylighting is part of the broader construction plan.
Note: SolBright Skylights can support these approaches by providing clear scope documentation, configuration summaries, and installation scheduling coordination (as needed).

How SolBright Skylights Helps You Navigate Financing and Rebates
Most homeowners do not want homework. They want clarity. SolBright Skylights supports your decision-making with a practical approach:
Step 1: Define the project scope
We start by understanding what you want to improve and which rooms matter most. Then we recommend a Solatube configuration that matches your goals and expectations.
Step 2: Identify likely funding options
We’ll discuss the most common funding options homeowners use and help you narrow to the approach that fits your preferences (structured payment vs. flexible funding, speed vs. long-term strategy).
Step 3: Screen for potential programs (if applicable)
Based on your location and project scope, we’ll point you toward the most likely places incentives may be available—utility resources, statewide programs, or local initiatives—and help you understand what documentation is typically required.
Step 4: Support documentation needs
If a program requires proof of purchase, product descriptions, or a scope summary, we can help you compile what you need so the application process is smoother.
What You’ll Need to Move Forward
Whether you’re financing the project, applying for a program, or both, most homeowners benefit from having:
- The rooms you want brighter (prioritized list)
- A recommended system configuration direction (we provide this)
- Your preferred timeline
- Any HOA approval requirements (if applicable)
- A simple understanding of how you want to pay (upfront vs. monthly)

Financing + Rebate FAQs
Do you guarantee rebates?
No. Rebates and incentive programs change over time and may depend on your utility, location, and eligibility criteria. SolBright Skylights helps you identify potential options, but availability and approval are controlled by the program administrators.
Do you offer financing directly?
SolBright Skylights can discuss common financing pathways and help you evaluate options. If you need a specific lender relationship or on-site financing program, we can clarify what is available during consultation.
What information do I need to explore rebates or incentives?
Most programs (when available) require some combination of: proof of purchase, basic project scope details, and product information. SolBright Skylights can help you compile what’s needed.
Can tubular daylighting reduce my energy use?
Daylighting can reduce the need for daytime electric lighting in certain rooms. Actual impact varies by home layout, usage patterns, and system configuration.
I live in a townhome or HOA—can financing still work?
Yes. The key is confirming the community’s approval requirements and roof responsibility rules early. We can help you prepare approval-friendly project information while you explore financing.
Are there different considerations by region?
Financing and program options can vary by utility territory. If your project involves wind or storm considerations, we can guide you through configuration planning and documentation that supports the project approval process.
