Welcome back to another edition of VELUX Product Spotlight! Today, the light shines on the "Fresh Air" Skylight Family, a core part of VELUX's line of residential daylighting products. These venting skylights allow homeowners to enjoy regular fresh air in addition to the abundant natural light skylights provide. And they can have it their way — solar, electric, or manual.
VELUX Solar Powered "Fresh Air" Skylights, available in deck- and curb-mounted options, features a solar panel that captures available daylight to power the skylight. The solar panel recharges a highly-efficient and fully-concealed battery-powered operator and control system. Since the operator opens and closes the skylight, there's no wiring involved, making it an ideal replacement option for existing fixed or manual skylights. The skylight also has a rain sensor built in to close the unit automatically in inclement weather.
Solar Powered "Fresh Air" Skylights are a part of our Go Solar program. This means homeowners who install these skylights become eligible for a federal tax credit worth 26% of the cost of product and installation.
