Homeowners that pair a VELUX fixed or manually venting skylight with solar-powered shades are eligible for a 30% Federal Tax Credit. This credit applies to the cost of the skylight and solar shade and also to the labor and materials required to install the unit. This can result in an average benefit of $730 or more. We often find that the Energy Performance Package allows us to install a fixed skylight with the solar shades cheaper (after the tax credit) than without. There are two shade colors that are available for immediate factory installation; WHITE and BEIGE for Room Darkening or WHITE and CLASSIC SAND for light-filtering shades.

This web page was written to provide a basic understanding of skylights, their applications, common terminology and basic features. Please move on to FAQ's for SKYLIGHTS or VELUX Skylights - Sizes & Shapes for more detailed information and specifications. You may know that skylights were first used in Europe (invented by the founder of VELUX) almost seventy years ago. In Europe then and now it is rare to see a non-venting skylight. The very name VELUX is derived from VE - ventilation and LUX - light.

Adds daylight when a skylight is not needed or not feasible. This product works best in hallways, over stairways or in a small bathroom. Because the VELUX Sun Tunnel can reach up to twenty feet through an attic it can bring daylight to the center of your home. We install hundreds of solar fans every year. They will keep your attic cooler in the summer and remove humidity from your attic all winter.

Lee and Seth were great to work with! They replaced our old leaking skylight quickly since they knew we were having problems. They explained every step of the process before it started and kept us informed while completing the work. They were on time and were careful to keep our house clean. We are very happy with our new skylight and would highly recommend Housework's Daylighting Solutions. Thank you Lee and Seth!

Love my sun tunnels! We had sun tunnels installed in both of our windowless bathrooms. What a difference! Really like how the sun tunnels brighten the room and the nice soft light they provide. Daylight Solutions staff was very helpful. They discussed with us the best locations for the tunnels and did a great job of installation and cleanup.
