Solatube Home Listed as a “Top 20 Hottest Franchises of 2021”

Throughout history, people have sought ways to brighten the interiors of the places where they live and work. And no light source is more perfect than the sun for providing light. It’s naturally bright, free and, contrary to a light bulb, never burns out. Harnessing and transferring that perfect light indoors is the foundation of Solatube Home.

Thirty years ago, David Rillie helped invent a unique product that has proven to be a boon for humanity by helping millions of people harness and enjoy natural sunlight, thereby bringing down their dependability on electricity for their light requirements saving them their hard-earned money. He shares, “The Solatube story began in the 1980s when a lone Australian inventor created a product that revolutionized the way daylight was brought into homes. After being patented, this device became the first Solatube produced ever sold and the catalyst that transformed the daylighting and ventilation industry. After the Solatube Tubular Skylight product was invented. Solatube Home was established to install these revolutionary products for home owners.”

Solatube Home franchise: Sharing success.

After helping to invent the tubular skylight, David was not after making money but rather was behind sharing his invention with humanity to bring a major change in their lives. Having seen people struggle with a basic necessity like electricity and light, David was eagerly finding ways to ensure that his invention not only lights up the houses of the rich but also the poor and the unprivileged ones. The invention was revolutionary but needed the correct mode to reach the ones who needed it the most.

However, in those days the only way to market the product was the conventional way of selling it. Hence David established a residential division and as the company grew and has a legacy of more than 30 years, they took to franchising as they wanted more people to join their mission of harnessing the natural sunlight. “At Solatube, we’ve always focused on providing immediate, meaningful impact for homeowners,” mentions David.

Pandemic and recession resilient business

 Through its franchise, Solatube Home aims to hand deserving entrepreneurs an opportunity to start their entrepreneurial journey with a world leading brand.

With a proven business model and the leading products in the industry, Solatube Home offers entrepreneurs a chance to be a part of an industry with limited competition, with increased chances of success while creating a meaningful change in the world. Josh Rillie Director of Solatube Home asserts, “We have many company-owned stores, but now we feel it’s time to expand and give other motivate entrepreneurs an opportunity to be part of this revolutionary home service business opportunity.”
