Who is SolBright Skylights?
For years, many homeowners and building professionals knew us as Solar Midwest. As our business grew and our focus became even clearer, we made a branding decision that better reflects what we do today and where we’re going next. The result is SolBright Skylights—a name that puts the spotlight on what we deliver every day: daylight and comfort.
SolBright Skylights is the same team, same expertise, and same work you’ve always known from Solar Midwest—just with a new name and a refreshed look.
We Sell Daylight℠. And we back it with decades of experience.
Why the name change?
The name “Solar Midwest” made sense in the early days, but it didn’t always communicate the heart of our business. Today, our core work is centered on:
-
Solatube tubular daylighting systems (our primary specialty)
-
Ventilation solutions that complement daylighting and support comfort (attics, garages, and whole-home air exchange)
The brand update to SolBright Skylights helps customers immediately understand what we do, and it gives us a clearer identity as we continue serving homeowners and partners across multiple markets.
Are you still the same company?
Yes. SolBright Skylights is the same company with:
-
The same commitment to quality
-
The same installation expertise
-
The same “do it right the first time” approach
-
The same customer-first process
We’ve been in business since 1993 and have completed 60,000+ installations. That experience matters because the best results come from details—planning, placement, roof integration, and offer guidance that’s based on what actually works in real homes.
What does SolBright Skylights do?
SolBright Skylights is a Solatube Premier Dealer specializing in two categories:
1) Residential Daylighting
Tubular daylighting is one of the most noticeable improvements you can make to a home. It brings natural light into spaces that windows often can’t reach—hallways, bathrooms, closets, stairwells, laundry rooms, and interior living areas.
If you’ve ever walked into a room and thought, “This space shouldn’t feel this dark,” tubular daylighting is designed to solve exactly that.
2) Ventilation
Ventilation supports comfort in spaces where heat or stale air is a problem. Depending on your home and needs, that may include:
-
Solar ventilation fan options (configured for attic or garage applications)
-
Whole house fans designed for whole-home air exchange when conditions are right
Ventilation selection should never be “one-size-fits-all.” We assess structure and feasibility, then recommend what’s practical for your home.
Where do we serve?
Our geographic footprint is straightforward:
Though our core presence serving homeowners is in Minnesota (Statewide) and Florida (Broward and Palm Beach counties). We also support building professionals looking for a reliable daylighting and ventilation partner in Iowa, Western Wisconsin, and North and South Dakota. Many of these projects come through contractors, roofers, and architects, but we also serve homeowners directly.
If you’re not sure whether we serve your location, the fastest way to confirm is to contact our team.
What’s it like to work with SolBright Skylights?
We aim for a simple experience that’s easy to understand before we start—and a clean result when we’re done.
-
Consultation: We learn what you want to improve and confirm feasibility
-
Recommendations: We guide product selection and placement strategy

If you’ve never explored tubular daylighting before, you don’t need to come in with technical knowledge. That’s our job. Our role is to educate you clearly, recommend the right solution, and deliver a result you’ll enjoy daily.
