Are Sun Tunnels Worth It

Generally speaking, rigid sun tunnels can offer up to 20m of effective light distribution. Flexible sun tunnels meanwhile cost less and are much better for shorter distances, as the flexible tube allows you to negotiate around any obstructions in the roof space.

Are sun tunnels expensive?

Solar tubes can be installed for much less than skylights. On average, professionally installed solar tubes cost about $750 apiece. Skylights average $1500 to $2500, depending on size and installation complexity.

Do sun tunnels need planning permission?

Sun tunnels usually do not need planning permission but you should always do your own due diligence to find out, especially if you live in a listed building or conservation area.
