Traditional SunPipe-13 installation - Painted.
SunPipes do extend a bit higher above the roof than most competitive products do and, SunPipes always look straight up to the sky which most competitive products don't, however, they do so for a reason... to get maximum daylight in to your indoor environment.

Napa Valley Winery (Domaine Carneros) - Rows of SunPipe-21's and roof-mounted PV's (photovoltaics) share roof-top real-estate. Mini-roof curbs were provided by others for which we supplied curb-caps.

Traditional - Unpainted - SunScoopTM

Our exclusive Super-Flash-300 installed on an existing 2:12 sloped metal roof (storm collar not shown). Mounting the entire flashing to the top of the roof is not recommended (unless it is a rubber-boot-style flashing) however, although not pretty, there has been no leakage after years of service. Notice that the base of the flashing has been cut on each side of each roof-panel-rib to allow the base between the ribs to be caulked and screwed to the roof panel. One screw every 2" around the entire base of the flashing were used.

Barrell Tile - Unpainted

Our SuperFlash-300 can be used on tile roofs.
High profile tiles, like this barrell-tile, represent no problem to SunPipe® however, in northern climates that get prolonged freezing temperatures, grout should be used to fill the void between the flashing and the tile.

SunPipe-13 roof curb and cap installed during construction phase. Pipes were later extended by 4-ft to reduce shadowing by parapit.

Torch-down bitumen roof - Exclusive SuperFlash-300 unpainted
Extra High for 2-ft snow.

There are 30 SunPipe-21's penetrating the membrane roof of the retail store below. Only 8 or 9 are visible in this view.

Now that's what we call a Snow Break! Yowza!
The steep-roof version of our SuperFlash-300 on
a 8:12 sloped metal roof. Yes, our metal flashing really
does work on metal roofs.

The industrial-style roof curb below is made to accommodate four (4) SunPipe-21's. It was later painted to blend in with the roof color. Indoors, the SunPipe extends below the ceiling to approx. 1 foot above the top of the tank.

This Alabama homeowner is an enthusiastic grower of salt-water coral. The large aquarium inside his living room is considerably brighter than if it were sitting outdoors in direct sun/day light. His HID lamps and water-chiller now run only 15 to 20 percent of the time they did prior to installing the SunPipes thereby saving energy, miiinimizing bulb replacement and minimizing thermal variations of the water. Special top and bottom domes were provided to allow full UV-A exposure (320 - 400 nm) however, we have since learned that our standard SunPipe® domes, which provide upper-level UV-A (370-400nm) work just as well. With natural sun and moon light cycles, growth and breeding are phenominal... better than he has ever seen even in a totally natural environment. Coraline growth is amazing. To put it mildly, our aquarium-customers are very happy.
