They had two conventional flourescent tubes in the fixtures and two translucent hollow solar tubes(probably built similar to the ones you propose) and an electronic circuit that turns on the flourescent lights only when the solar light diminishes. This would be when a dark cloud appeared or when night approached. Pretty cool. I wonder what happened to this technology. Would this technology hurt the power companies too much? I don't think so. They could start their own subsidaries and make a mint. What do you think. I will try to look through the old engineering magazine archives and find some articles. I had hoped to find that they were still on the internet, but I haven't found any. If you know of any company that does this, let me know. I know people younger than me that need work and this would be a neat business to be in and lucrative.
