Late last year Naturalight Solar, Inc. completed a large skylight replacement job in Novato. There were two old 2x9 skylights that were failing, causing leaking that resulted in water damage. Due to the large size of the existing skylights, Naturalight ordered custom curb adaptors so that new, standard size VELUX skylights could be installed.

Naturalight removed the existing skylights and stripped down the old, damaged material to the base, from which we started fresh. Layer by layer, we installed the new skylights. Underlayment, metal flashings, shingles, curb adaptors, and finally, new VELUX Skylights.

The two curb adaptors held three VELUX Skylights each, two of which were solar operable skylights. The addition of the solar operable skylights made the entire project eligible for a 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit, which resulted in a $5,000 credit for the homeowner.
