If the East side of your roof has sunlight on it, the Solatube will suck it down. My roof peak runs East & West, and the tubes are both positioned further down on the North slope. The domes stand about 12"-20" off the shingles and get direct sunlight until late afternoon. Even in the early evening at dusk they still provide sunlight to see in the room - enough to keep from turning on a light if you are just moving through. Some evenings, the moonlight provides a soft light with a nice blue color cast :) The Solartex installer that put our solar tubes in mounted them in the roof directly above the ceiling cutouts. I know you can run the tubes at angles, but it probably adds to the difficulty of installing with more custom joints needed. If you are doing this yourself, I would highly recommend putting the dome directly above where you cut out the ceiling mount. The Solatube dome has a mirror reflector in it that you install facing Southeast to grab the most light during the morning hours. You may play with the positioning of the reflector if you don't get enough light in the evenings. Best of luck to you! Howdy Russ!

My house is positioned North and South. so my roof flat sides are on the East and West. My son insists the the Tube be on the West side and I don't think that it makes a difference. The dining/kitchen where we want to place the first one is on the East side and we could place the dome on the east side. We could do it on the West side but would need a longer tube.
