SunLight inDoors...?

The Himawari Sunlight System is a solariffic way to light your house that won?t add a cent to your electric bill. There?s a solar collector you put on the roof (on left above) that tracks the sun all day, and distributes that light via fiber optic cable to any room in the house. You can get a variety of special fixtures that emit that light inside. There?s one that looks like a sunflower (picture at right), but there are also other recessed fixtures and spotlights that look just like conventional lights. And, all the ultraviolet and infrared rays are left outside. It?s the light without the heat.

intersting.

The collector dome is 39" diameter, and it weights 200lbs.

My old place had something similar for getting light into the basement. You get light when you dont really need it and it really does not look that great. Over time the fiberoptics turn slightly yellow creating that old nasty office atmosphere. Definitely not recommended.

Yeah especially for the price you pay for the unit and installation. Youre better off getting a bunch of PV Cells on your roof and watch your meter turn backwards when youre not using too much juice. (Unlikely with our tanks)
