VELUX Flat Roof Solar Skylight (VCS)
The VELUX Flat Roof Solar Skylight (VCS) is a premium daylight and ventilation solution designed specifically for flat and low‑pitch roof applications. Combining natural light with automated fresh‑air ventilation, the VCS enhances indoor comfort, supports passive cooling, and improves indoor air quality in contemporary residential and light‑commercial projects.
Powered by an integrated solar panel, the VCS requires no hardwiring, making it ideal for renovations, extensions, and projects where electrical access is limited. The concealed battery system ensures reliable operation day and night, while the built‑in rain sensor automatically closes the skylight when moisture is detected, providing peace of mind in unpredictable weather.
High‑performance glazing delivers excellent thermal insulation, solar heat control, and UV protection, helping maintain comfortable indoor temperatures throughout the year. The laminated inner pane enhances safety, while the toughened outer pane provides durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions. The unit’s clean, minimal design integrates seamlessly into modern architectural forms, making it suitable for living areas, hallways, and flat‑roof extensions where both daylight and ventilation are desired.
Architects value the VCS for its combination of performance, convenience, and design flexibility. Its automated operation supports passive ventilation strategies by allowing warm, stale air to escape at ceiling level, reducing reliance on mechanical cooling systems. Compatible with VELUX blinds and accessories, the VCS offers a complete solution for controlled daylight and ventilation in flat‑roof environments.
