The VELUX VCS solar powered skylight is the cadillac of venting skylights. Remote control allows you to easily open and close the skylight. No need for wiring or an electrician. All this while increasing light in your home and having access to fresh air as you please.
What happens if it rains? Won't all of my stuff get wet? No way! All VELUX Solar Skylights come equipped with a rain sensor that will automatically close the unit as soon as it detects any rain. Does the solar panel work when it's cloudy? Yes, it unit will continue to charge and operate even when it's cloudy!
Get it, Install it, Enjoy it.
VELUX Solar Powered Skylights are ideal for bringing in light and fresh air to otherwise dark, non-ventilated areas in your home. When installed with appropriate VELUX flashing on a sloped roof they come with a 10-year installation warranty, no matter who installs the skylight. Talk to your local contractor for sizing and installation costs.
