You can follow us on: Facebook bit.ly Twitter twitter.com Blog: www.ashdenawards.org SELCO-India is a private business which has designed and sold over 48000 solar home systems, powering electric lighting and small appliances for 220000 people in Karnataka and other states in South India. Around 46% of households in India do not have mains electricity, and for many others the supply is unreliable. The use of photovoltaic (PV) solar-home-systems (SHS) can provide reliable power for lighting and low-power appliances, which brings great practical benefits. Smoky, dangerous kerosene light is avoided, people have extended hours for work and study, and more opportunities for leisure and entertainment. Many programmes throughout the world have attempted to improve quality of life using SHS, but often they have not led to long term use and continuing markets. SELCO-India believes that the use of SHS will become widespread only if the system and after-sales service are of high quality, and if people want an SHS enough to pay for it.

Natural Light 18" Tubular Skylight Kit

Why tubular instead of traditional skylights?Tubular skylights emit more light than traditional skylights because of the high reflectivity of the mirror-like light pipe.---- Tubular skylights are far more energy efficient than traditional skylights. They are designed with a sealed shaft which minimizes the transfer of heat or cold into your home, unlike traditional skylights which generate heat.---- Tubular skylights scatter 100% of the natural light spectrum through the use of a diffuser, thereby eliminating the spot light effect common with the traditional system.---- 99% of harmful UV rays are absorbed by both the specially designed dome and by the light pipe, thereby eliminating the bleaching effect on rugs and furniture.---- Tubular Skylights are far more economical; a tubular skylight can be installed in less that two hours-a fraction of the time it takes to install a traditional skylight. No structural changes or painting required for the installation of a tubular skylight.WE OFFER 25 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE LIGHT PIPE, THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY!MADE IN USAICBO TESTED and APPROVED (ER5874)FLORIDA BUILDING CODE APPROVED (FL1629)HURRICANE TESTED and APPROVED (HTL01097)FeaturesNatural Light Tubular Skylight SystemNatural Light Tubular Skylight Protection 25 Year Product Warranty * Unique condensation release system * Bug and dust proof sealing system * Seamless air-craft grade aluminum flashing * Water tight * Fits all roof types * Alanod Miro Silver 98% reflective light pipe * Aluminum trim ring and stress collar * Quick and easy 2 hour installation * No structural changes or painting required * UV protection built-in no fading * Virtually no heat gain or loss * Condensation system keeps moisture outside * Only dome with factory mounted stress equalizing collar
