The VSS Solar Powered Skylight comes complete with a pre-programmed radio frequency controller for skylight operation. Externally mounted rain sensors automatically close the skylight once rain is detected**.
Indoor climate control (sold separately)
VELUX Active operates on 2.4GHz and is compatible with modern ‘smart’ modems. (select the 2.4GHz channel in dual mode on your modem).
Laminated glass (standard with VSS) must be used
for skylights installed 3m or more above floor level.
* For roofs below 15° pitch, skylights need to be raised to 15° and custom flashed. VELUX can assist with technical advice and drawings. (NB: build-up not recommended in Bushfire areas.)
**Activation causes the skylight to close faster than normal operation.
Blinds sold separately.
EDW flashing is used for skylights installed into tiled roofs and low profiled metal roofs (such as corrugated iron and spandek – not suitable for metal profiles such as Klip-Lok, Trimdek).
EDL flashing is used for skylights installed into slate or shingle roofs – typically 4-8mm thick. ‘L’ shaped sections are provided that act as soaker pieces on either side of the skylight.
Designed for installing multiple skylights side-by-side or above-below. Skylights must be spaced 100mm apart. EKW suitable for same roofs as EDW flashing.
NB: For roofs below 15° pitch, skylights need to be raised to 15° and custom flashed. VELUX can assist with technical advice and drawings. (NB: build-up not recommended in Bushfire areas.)
Skylights can only be installed as per orientation depicted above.
NB: Opening Restrictors: NCC Vol 1 & 2 regulations (Prevention of Falls from Windows – Balustrades & Barriers): contact VELUX for information relating to restrictor devices for within-reach opening skylights.
‡ Weight includes flashing.
† Above-below combination installations require relocation of solar panel using relocation kit (supplied with skylight).

VELUX Skylights are deemed non-combustible by CSIRO and thereby comply with NCC boundary separation requirements.
† CSIRO assessment report available on request. VELUX recommends consultation with relevant authority before work commences. Skylight assessed in closed position.
^ Roof pitch 18°-75°. Skylight only. Custom-made flashing required. Skylight tested in closed position, metal flywire mesh protection may be required for opening apertures (consult local council).
^^ Skylight cannot be closer than 3m unless the boundary is adjoining a road or public place. Consult NCC for further details.
