These days, there's quite a bit more to skylights than a window on your roof that's permanently closed. With different power, venting, glass, and blind options, it's a lot to keep track of. That's why we're starting a series of posts to explain the different parts of each of our skylights. So when you look up to your skylight, you'll know exactly what you're seeing.
Today, we're kicking things off with the VELUX Solar Powered "Fresh Air" Skylight.
The VELUX Solar Powered "Fresh Air" Skylight is our greenest standard flat skylight. Rather than opening manually or with the use of electricity, this skylight is powered by the sun. A small solar panel attached to the base collects all available daylight (even on cloudy days) to power the battery system that opens and closes the skylight.
The Solar Powered "Fresh Air" Skylight is compatible with VELUX ACTIVE with NETATMO, as well as a wide variety of our VELUX blinds. It also falls under our No Leak Warranty when installed with VELUX flashing. Available in deck-mount and curb-mount options, this solar-powered skylight enables you to be eligible for a federal tax credit on product and installation when installed before 2021.
Now, down to the nitty-gritty. This is your skylight:
And this is what all those numbers mean:
Each Solar Powered "Fresh Air" Skylight also comes equipped with an insect screen to prevent pests from getting into your home. And, as we've mentioned before, these skylights are compatible with our blinds, which are designed to be functional and look great.
