Solar Light Inc

Picture this: a home where sunlight dances through every room, chasing away the gloom of Central Oregon’s cloudy days. That’s the magic Solar Light Inc has been weaving since 2006. As Bend’s premier Solatube dealer and installer, we’ve transformed over 15,000 homes with more than 20,000 installations, earning 490+ five-star reviews and the crown as the West Coast’s highest-rated skylight specialist. Our mission is simple yet bold – to flood your life with natural light and turn your space into a sanctuary of brightness.

Our Story

It all began in 2006 when Brennan, a Solatube pioneer since 2004, teamed up with his wife Melody to launch Solar Light Inc. Their vision? To make the world a brighter place, one home at a time. For nearly two decades, they built a legacy of light in Bend, Oregon, serving thousands with unmatched care. Today, Brennan steps back as our founding advisor, passing the torch to a dynamic duo: Jim Erickson and Jason Hathaway. Together, these owners carry forward the mission with fresh energy and deep roots, ensuring Solar Light Inc remains a family-inspired force in natural lighting.
Meet the Owners

  • Jim Erickson – Co-Owner
    Jim’s story is one of transformation. As the mastermind behind R3 Homes in Bend, he’s spent years perfecting premium remodels, turning houses into dream homes. When he joined Solar Light Inc as co-owner, he saw a chance to do more – to blend his construction savvy with a passion for sustainable living. Jim’s the guy who dreams big, ensuring every Solatube or Redilight installation isn’t just functional, but a game-changer for your home. He’s driven by the belief that light doesn’t just illuminate – it elevates. With Jim at the helm, you’re getting a leader who’s as invested in your space as you are.

  • Jason Hathaway – Co-Owner & Master Installer
    Jason’s journey with Solar Light Inc is pure grit and brilliance. With over 20 years of construction experience, he’s not just an installer – he’s an artist with a hammer. As co-owner, Jason brings hands-on mastery to every project, whether it’s a leak-proof Solatube fitted in two hours or a Redilight system banishing darkness from your hallway. His story started on rooftops and in attics, perfecting the craft that’s now brightened thousands of homes. Jason’s the heartbeat of our installs, fueled by a relentless drive to get it right – every cut, every seal, every beam of light. Together with Jim, he’s building on Solar Light’s legacy with sweat and vision.
  • Brennan – Founding Advisor
    The spark that lit the fuse, Brennan’s been in the Solatube game since 2004.

Brennan’s the voice in our ear, reminding us why we started: to bring light where it’s needed most.

Solatube History

Solatube’s history started 30 years ago in Australia when the CEO helped invent the first ever tubular skylight. They named their invention Solatube Daylighting System. This invention started a revolution in the tubular skylight industry. This high-tech, leak-proof skylight, was the catalyst that transformed the world of daylighting. This modern skylight was a hit with homeowners because it was a third of the price of a traditional skylight with twice as much natural light. Plus, it didn’t leak. Soon after manufacturing began, Premier Dealers were trained and certified to install the Solatube Tubular Skylights in to homes.

Our Certified Installation Consultants are daylighting and ventilation experts who are factory-trained and certified on all Solatube products. We offer free in-home consultations, individualized appointment times, and same-day installation services. To learn more about Solatube International, click here.
