Frequently Asked Questions

Does this solar skylight need wiring?

No. The VCS 2246 is powered entirely by its integrated solar panel, so there is no wiring and no electrician required for the opening mechanism. A rechargeable battery pack stores energy from the panel, which keeps the skylight operating even through overcast periods, and the wall-mounted remote runs without a mains connection.

What size is this skylight?

The VCS 2246 has an opening size of 665 by 1275mm. It suits kitchens, hallways and living areas where a taller opening of daylight is wanted on a flat roof, and it fits within a compact roof footprint while still delivering useful light and ventilation.

What roof does it suit?

This skylight is designed for flat and low pitch roofs up to 15 degrees. A flashing matched to your roof profile and material is required and is sold separately. Choose the flashing option for your roof type and finish so the skylight drains water correctly and stays weathertight over time.
