Nick1c Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Our plans include a section of roof with 19 PV panels and 5 roof lights. I have only heard of velux and fakro, are there any other manufacturers I should be looking at? If we can afford it I will go for the passivhaus certified model, in order to match the PV panels I think they need to be 1x1.6m. One of the things I am concerned about is overheating, in order to mitigate this I am thinking about external blinds for the roof lights. Fakro have options for both blinds & shutters, I haven't seen them for velux. Have people found big variations in price between retailers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesP Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I fitted 7 x 3g Velux roof lights in the summer. I cannot fault them, excellent design from opening the box, fitting and flashing kits. Just obey the instructions. We have Velux black out blinds, lots of other options. https://www.velux.co.uk/products/blinds-and-shutters Did price up against Keylite but too close after Velux reward scheme included. Also excellent customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
