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.

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.
