Dennis Grubb briefly explains how the Solaro Day™ works.
There’s light outside, so turn off your old fashioned, power guzzling lights and plug into the power of the sun with the Solaro Day™. Start enjoying the benefits of solar-powered full spectrum natural sunlight in your life. The Solaro Day™ daylight simulator can be used inside your home, office or any other structure, on any level.
How does it work?
Starting out at the roof level, Solaro™ has designed a line of special proprietary solar panels that collect sunlight, even on cloudy days, and convert it into safe low voltage DC power. We send that power to a Solaro Day™ daylight simulator for use inside your home or office.
The Solaro Day™ daylight simulator will create the same light that a traditional or tubular skylight creates but without the costly installation including the cutting of a large hole in your roof or ceiling. You will also be able to experience the sun up, sun down and cloud movement inside when your Solaro Day™ is powered directly by the solar panel, just as you would experience with a skylight.
The Solaro Day™ typically requires only a 1/2 inch diameter hole drilled into your roof for the interconnect cable making the installation fast and simple!
-Strong 25 year warranty on the solar panel and diffuser, 10 year warranty on the Opto Semiconductor and light engine.
- The Opto Semiconductors used in the Solaro Day™ are better than basic LEDs because they have a brighter light and longer life span.
- Proprietary solar panels made with multicrystalline solar cells are designed to collect sunlight even on cloudy days, convert it into safe low-voltage, high performing simulated daylight. Outperforms tubular skylights in low light, on cloudy skys, and early and late day.
- Durable white powder coated fixture will last for decades.
- The diffuser is made of modified acrylic and masterfully hides the individual Opto Semiconductors to give a smooth appearance with a very minimal loss of light.
- The Solaro Day™ will also encourage plant growth because it provides the light colors plants need for growth. The Solaro Day Grow Light is also available specifically designed to provide plants with only the light they need to produce a beautiful healthy plant indoors without wasting energy producing light they don’t need.
-Provides simulated natural, healthy sunlight that makes bright, happy spaces with the same full spectrum light as sunlight.
-NO harmful UV produced by this light so no need to worry about fading carpets and furniture using the Solaro Day™. Both incandescent and fluorescent lights produce UV but the Solaro Day™ does not.
- Installation is not inhibited by the structure of a building. It can be installed anywhere!
- Creates the same daylight as a traditional tubular skylight without costly installation or cutting large intrusive holes in your roof or ceiling.
- Easy installation. A small ¼” diameter hole in the roof and a 4″ hole in the ceiling for the remodel box, snap together the interconnect cable and it’s done. Fast and simple.
- Each kit includes all mounting hardware and 25 feet of 18 gauge double insulated copper wire manufactured to be weatherproof and sunlight resistant which insures the best powering and low energy loss over longer runs. Additional lengths of wire are available for purchase. For wire runs from 1-50 feet use 18 gauge wire, 50-100 feet 14 gauge and 100+ 12 gauge.
- As portable as any other ceiling type fixture. You can take it with you when you move. Can you say that about a skylight?
- Electronics of highest quality with latest technology.
- Helps keep the planet green. Conserves energy, promotes off-grid independence, reduces landfill.
- No harmful substances in the bulb. Fluorescent bulbs contain mercury that is a toxic substance and dangerous to your health.
- The Solaro Day™ is a truly green product! Over the entire life of the light — from manufacturing to disposal — the energy used for incandescent bulbs is almost 5 times that used by the Opto Semiconductors in the Solaro Day.
- The Solaro Day™ has various powering options available. You can use it powered directly by the solar panel, from a battery backup, or from AC. If you want to power a few of the Solaro Day™ from one solar panel, you can do that too.
- American designed, American engineered and American made for quality and durability.
The engineering department at Solaro Energy™ has been designing skylights and solar powered point of use products for over 20 years with several patents to their credit, so we know sunlight and how to use it for man’s benefit. We are confident that not only will the Solaro Day™ bring lower energy bills, but will bring comfort to your home and family!

Do you want to keep the areas around your home properly lit but don’t wish to pay for an electrician to hook everything up? You may be interested in solar-powered lighting, that can be installed in areas without a regular source of power. Solar-powered fixtures shadow adjacent areas beautifully with their deep glow.
The solar lights are run by extremely efficient rechargeable batteries that store the electrical power that has been converted by the natural sunlight, which has been collected by specifically designed solar panels. After shining brightly during the early evening hours, the solar-powered lights decrease in brightness as the night wears on. When the batteries have been fully charged during an average sunny day, the solar-powered lights give sufficient lighting for most of the night, but the output is not as consistent when the weather is gloomy or wet.
The Solar Powered Motion Activated 14-LED Security Spotlight is one example of this variety of solar-powered light. It is exactly what you need for your garage, doorway, and other dark locations around your property. With its 14 LED lights, this motion sensor light is the perfect alternative for security reasons. Because it employs solar power, there’s no cost to run it. When you decide to purcahse a solar-powered security spotlight, here’s what you’ll get. It is a security spotlight that utilizes solar energy to function and is equippeed with a motion sensor feature. This solar-powered security spotlight is easy to install, does not call for hiring an electrician, and includes 14 LED lights. At night, the solar lights will illuminate upon detecting motion. The package includes the solar security light, the solar panel, and mounting screws, and three Ni-MH batteries that are necessary. The unit is white and measures 6″ wide, 7.7″ high, and 6.9″ deep.
All lights that run on solar power have trouble with an average battery capacity, and just a tiny area of solar cells. This has made the reputation of lights that run on solar energy to be, small amount of light, for a short time. As technology is improved, the batteries and solar cells have become much superior to the earlier ones. Hence, lights that run on solar energy are now normally used for landscape lighting because they run without electrical wiring. Because solar-powered lights are powered by the sun, through DC electricity, they are very portable in case you want alter the appearance of your landscape. With the built-in photo sensors, the lights remain off during the day and automatically light up when it gets dark.
No fossil fuels are burned in running solar lights, which is an extremely postive thing. Therefore, lights that run on solar power do not produce pollution when they are lit up. The Solar Powered Motion Activated 14-LED Security Spotlight is one of several types of solar lights, but it is sufficient as a security light. As somebody who desires the green lifestyle, lights that run on solar power to keep your outside lit at night is the way to go.

Search for solar powered reading lamp and you’ll find them starting around $20. Mine cost $10, and could have cost significantly less. It could have been free if I’d wandered my yard a bit and gotten creative with some of the broken landscaping lights, but for this lamp I wanted to have a quick easy implementation. I also liked the built in switch to turn it on and off. It’s so much easier than lighting a candle or an oil lamp when the power goes out.
