Who we are

Solarspot International is a leading company in the natural daylighting sector, specialising in the development, manufacture and distribution of Solarspot® tubular daylighting systems, patented solutions designed to channel natural daylight into buildings.

The company has a well-established technical, logistical and organisational structure, enabling us to support our customers and help them find the solutions best suited to their needs. Our Technical and Sales Department provides attentive and timely assistance to all customers, from detailed lighting assessments and customised solutions to the preparation of the final quotation.

The exceptionally high quality of the materials used throughout the production process enables us to bring durable and reliable Solarspot® natural daylighting systems to market, delivering consistently high levels of performance.

Key factors behind the company's success include its ongoing commitment to research, development and training, its collaboration with cultural institutions and universities, and, of course, its portfolio of outstanding projects.

Almost all manufacturing operations are carried out in our own workshop, including rolling, the production of straight and angled tubular ducts, the preparation of optical lenses and final assembly. Only thermoforming and turning operations are entrusted to two local specialist companies.

This approach gives us a response and delivery capability that sets us apart from our competitors. A Solarspot® system can reach international destinations within just a couple of days, while even large orders can be fulfilled within a maximum of two to three weeks. This is made possible by our extensively stocked warehouse, which allows us to prepare products for dispatch immediately and ship them anywhere in the world.

Our History

Solarspot International has a history spanning more than twenty years. The company was founded by Dr Gennaro Bracale, who recognised the revolutionary potential of bringing natural sunlight into indoor spaces. He foresaw that this approach to lighting would become a defining innovation of the future. Today, as European directives increasingly encourage the use of renewable energy sources, this vision is becoming reality, in line with the growing focus on environmental sustainability.

 

Dr Bracale has always been a dedicated researcher, devoting considerable attention to the study of the materials, technologies and processes involved in the manufacture of tubular daylighting systems. His research enabled him to develop a product based on technologies better suited to the needs of the Italian and European markets, offering improved performance and efficiency.

 

His commitment to research and measurement, with the aim of developing a high-performance, efficient, durable and safe product, led Dr Bracale to design and build a measuring instrument: a four-metre-diameter Ulbricht integrating sphere, unique in the world. This instrument can measure tubular daylighting systems up to one metre in diameter under real operating conditions. Its purpose is to assess, in real time, the system's efficiency and the illuminance levels achieved once installed, as well as to evaluate the performance of this type of technology more generally.

 

A couple of years ago, the company passed into the hands of his daughter, Raffaella Bracale, who is determined to honour and carry forward the ambitious project her father began back in 2001.

 

Over more than twenty years of activity, Solarspot® technology has achieved numerous successful applications and received international recognition:
