All about Elite
Our leading company, Southwest Metal Spinning, metal stamps and spins all the aluminum components related to
our skylights and attic fans.
It all started in 1996, when another skylight company asked Southwest to manufacture a galvanized steel flashing for
their current skylight. However, such material, along with plastic, is incompetent for the foundation of a skylight.
Unfortunately, this company was bought out and pulled out their jobs from Southwest. During this time we decided to
take matters into our own hands.
After a few days of judgement and deliberation, Southwest began designing a tooling for a one-piece aluminum
flashing, made for both flat and pitched roofs, and with a lower profile design. We also enhanced the appearance for
both the trim and decorative rings. From this point in time we at Southwest opted for our own tubular skylight
company.
Since March 2001, in correlation with Southwest, Elite Solar Systems has been devoted in designing and
manufacturing a tubular skylight with distinct features for reinforced performance. Owned and managed by a family of
metal formers, here at Elite we use our time and energies in making these products for you to enjoy free and natural
sunlight from sunrise to sunset. For more quality service and a superior product, we have joint our experience to make
it possible to build our own tooling, manufacture all-aluminum flashings, trim and decorative rings, and vacuum form
our acrylic domes and diffuser in-house.
