This VELUX fixed FS skylight with the "Go Solar" option includes a pre-installed solar powered light filtering blind and an internet gateway, allowing you to control the blind with your smartphone and enable automatic programs that boost energy efficiency. The solar powered blind is designed to harness the power of the sun to control the amount of daylight entering through your skylight. Installing a skylight is one of the most impactful ways to enhance the brightness and beauty of a room. Bringing natural light into a home through a skylight decreases the need for artificial light while maintaining privacy. The single-pleated, light filtering blind is designed to allow soft, diffused light to enter the room and reduce glare, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.
