Brighten any room without a roof cut
Discover the innovative solar LED solution for dark spaces where traditional glazing cannot reach. We provide a beautifully finished alternative that captures the sun and brings it indoors.
Bringing light into the most difficult spaces
Many homes in the South West feature rooms that feel isolated from the outdoors. Perhaps you have a dark walk-in robe, a pantry with no windows, or a hallway on the ground floor of a two-story home. In these scenarios, a traditional skylight may not be a viable option because there is no direct path to the roof. This is where our solar-powered solutions become a game changer for local homeowners.
Clearview Skylights is proud to offer the illume system to residents from Mandurah to Augusta. We specialise in seamlessly transforming spaces with personalised experiences. The illume system is a brilliant way to introduce the feeling of the sky into rooms that were previously reliant on artificial light globes.
The technology behind the illume
The technology is quite simple yet incredibly effective. An illume system consists of a sleek solar collector mounted on your roof, which is connected by a cable to an LED light panel inside your home. This panel is designed to mimic the exact appearance of a traditional skylight. It is not just a standard light. As the sun moves across the Western Australian sky, the intensity of the panel changes.
When a cloud passes over your roof in the South West, the light panel dims slightly just as a traditional window would. This creates a realistic and immersive experience of natural light. Because it relies entirely on solar energy, there are no running costs. It is an environmentally friendly choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint while improving their home environment.
Why we are Australia’s only fully compliant installers for solar solutions
Even though the illume system does not require a large hole in your roof, the installation of the solar collector must be handled with care. Clearview Skylights stands apart because we are Australia’s only fully compliant installers. We handle the whole job with a unique combination of certified trades in carpentry, roof plumbing and building.
We do it all. This means we ensure that the roof mounting is water-tight and the internal panel is flush and beautifully finished. All work is supervised by a qualified builder and carpenter. This is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of your home. We provide a 5-year compliance guarantee and issue a warranty compliance certificate on completion. You can trust that your installation is being handled by professionals who prioritise safety and longevity.
An accessible and cost effective lighting solution
If budget is a primary consideration, you will find that these are some of the most affordable skylights South West providers can offer. Because there is no need for structural framing or plastering of a light shaft, the installation process is much faster. This makes it a fantastic option for those who want a high impact change without the complexity of a major renovation.
We provide personalised recommendations to help you decide if illume is the right choice for your specific space. Rely on our staff to help you find the right solution from the widest range in WA. We look at your home’s layout and provide honest advice on which rooms will benefit most from this technology.
Frequently asked questions about solar skylights
Do solar skylights work at night?
The standard illume system works only while the sun is out. However, there are options to add a mains power backup if you wish to use the panel as a standard light at night.
Is the installation of an illume system messy?
No. Because there is no major structural cutting or shaft building required, the installation is very clean. Most units can be installed in just a few hours.
Can I run more than one light from a single solar panel?
Yes, you can. If you are using the illume PRO range, you can actually connect up to nine light panels to just one solar collector on your roof. We call this a multi-system. It is a very popular choice for South West homes because it keeps your roof looking neat and tidy. Instead of having several small panels on your roof, you only need one. This setup also ensures that the brightness is the same in every room. It makes the whole installation much simpler while providing a clean look for the outside of your house.
