Skylights that Pay for Themselves
New VELUX Energy Performance Model Skylights Combine Energy Efficiency with Cost Savings for Homeowners
Homeowners can maximize energy efficiency and take advantage of a 30 percent federal tax credit with the new VELUX Energy Performance Model skylight featuring automated energy performance.
Launching at the 2017 International Builders' Shown in Orlando, Florida, the Energy Performance Model combines and Energy Star-certified VELUX fixed skylight with a factory-installed, double-pleated, solar-powered, blackout blind and a preprogrammed Intelligent Touch Remote Control in one box.
"When closed, the double pleated blind boots the overall energy performance of the Energy Star-certified skylight by 40 percent," said Ross Vandermark, national product manager for VELUX. "And the blinds are fully automated when the room is not in use, closing during the warm summer days and cold winter nights to block light and insulate."
With a 30 percent federal tax credit, homeowners will receive an average of $730 in federal tax credit eligibility.
"The federal tax credit makes this product very affordable for homeowners looking to make a big impact on their home decor as well as their utility bills," Vandermark said.
VELUX is an Energy Star partner and has been recognized as a Partner of the Year. For more information, visit www.whyskylights.com or naturalightsolar.com.

4 Ways to Lower Your Energy Bill This Summer
Summer heat comes withs its own energy
challenges, especially when it comes to keeping your home cool and comfortable.
And though the days are longer, it doesn’t mean you can forego the use of
electric lighting in dark, land-locked rooms. In fact, you may choose to use
electric lighting during the day so you can keep your blinds closed against the
hot rays of sun baking through the glass.
But you don’t have to decide between well-lit
rooms and a cool home, nor does your electric bill have to soar with the rising
mercury. Here are four ways to brighten your home and keep it cool, all while
reducing your energy bill.
Tube Skylights
VELUX SUN TUNNEL Skylights are tubular skylights
that can bring light to rooms where windows or traditional skylights cannot
fit, such as small closets, bathrooms, and hallways. Tube skylights eliminate
the need for electric lighting during the day, reducing your energy bill. They
can also bring extra light to rooms where the shades are drawn across the
windows because you won’t have to worry about heat gain. While the standard
model has minimal heat transfer, with the energy efficient diffuser upgrade,
you can leave behind all worries of heat transfer into your home while still
enjoying natural light.
Venting Skylights
VELUX Fresh Air Skylights are operable skylights
designed to vent out hot air that naturally rises to the ceiling. It also
allows an influx of fresh air for healthy air circulation. Best of all, these
skylights can be solar powered, so they require no wiring and won’t add to your
energy bill. In fact, they may help lessen your need for air conditioning by
passively cooling your home.
Skylight Shades
If you’re concerned about the hot sun beating
through your skylight, then consider skylight shades. They can be closed during
the heat of the day to keep your home cooler. The VELUX Skylight Shades can
also be solar powered to eliminate the need for electrical wiring. Solar
skylight shades work excellently in combination with a solar powered venting
skylight to keep your home cool and lower your energy bill.
Solar Attic Fans
SunRise Solar Attic Fans actively pull hot air
out of your attic using only the power of the sun. By keeping your attic
cooler, they also help keep your living space cooler, reducing the need for air
conditioning. With its low profile design and whisper quiet operation, you’ll
hardly remember it’s there until you see your energy bill savings.
Along with cutting your energy costs this summer,
the solar powered skylights, shades, and attic fans currently qualify for a 30%
Federal Tax Credit on both the product and installation price.
It’s the perfect time to check out these products
and start saving. Call Naturalight Solar today to ask about how you can cut
costs and say cool this summer.

Save Your Home with the SunRise Solar Attic Fan
With warmer temperatures on the way, it's time to prepare and protect your home. Attic temperatures can easily become 30 to 50 degrees higher than the outside temperature and these extreme temperatures can be damaging to your home. Extreme heat can deteriorate your wiring insulation, cause the laminate on your plywood to peel off, and bake your composition shingles into brittle chips. It can also damage your possessions stored in the attic.
Reducing attic temperatures and circulating the air will protect and prolong the life of your roof, wiring, and possessions, as well as allowing the living area of your home to remain cooler through the summer.
The Solar Advantage
Like traditional attic fans, solar attic fans remove hot, stagnant air from your attic, which allows your air conditioner to cool your home more efficiently - cutting your energy costs up to 30% while extending the life of your HVAC. What makes solar attic fans even better is that they require no electricity. That means not only are your operational costs zero, but installation is wire free and a breeze!Solar attic fans are almost undetectable. With a sleek design for every rooftop, solar attic fans blend seamlessly into your roofline. And unlike an electric attic fan, they are extremely quiet. If it wasn't for the energy savings, you might forget it's there.
Reducing your attic temperature will reduce your energy bills and protect the life of your home.

Too Hot & Too Dark...VELUX Solar "Fresh Air" Skylight to the Rescue
Is your home hot, stuffy, and dark?
See what a Velux solar "fresh air" skylight can do for you.
Summer days in the living room of this Santa Rosa home were unbearably hot and stuffy. With no way for the heat to escape, it rose to the ceiling and stayed there, overheating the whole room. Also, because of the wood interior, the room was quite dark. The owners decided to install a VELUX solar operable four by two foot "fresh air" skylight to get rid of the heat and brighten things up.
The skylight installation was completed in two days, with a total budget of $4,900. The VELUX solar operable "fresh air" skylight gives them the opportunity for a 30% federal tax credit of $1,470, reducing the net cost of the skylight addition to $3,430.
What was once an over-heated, dimly lit room now has lots of natural light and much better ventilation.
We love our skylight. It has added much more than just light to our home. We can see the oak tree and feel a bit more of the outside beauty of our home. We LOVE how much hot air it lets out of a previously uncomfortably warm room. The rain sensor works every time, and we don't have to remember to close the skylight if rain is imminent. Thank you for the beautiful workmanship and attention to detail. ~Emily &Bryan
