Product Information

Full details

The Velux Solar Centre-Pivot Roof Window (1140mm x 1178mm) is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to upgrade attic or loft spaces with automated ventilation and abundant natural light. Its standout benefit is the completely solar-powered motor and rain sensor system, which eliminates the need for complex electrical wiring. A primary caveat to consider is that while the solar battery charges even in overcast conditions, it requires consistent daylight exposure and may take longer to charge if installed on a roof side that receives very limited sun.

FAQs

Does it need a connection to mains electricity?

No, the window is powered entirely by an integrated solar panel and a battery, making it a wireless solution.

Can I operate this window manually if the battery dies?

Yes, you can use the top control bar to operate the window manually if required.

What is the recommended roof pitch for this window?

This unit is suitable for roofs with a pitch between 15 degrees and 90 degrees.

How do I clean the outside pane of the window?

Rotate the window 180 degrees using the centre-pivot hinges and lock it into place to reach the external glass safely from inside the room.

Is the white finish prone to yellowing?

The high-quality white paint is designed to be moisture-resistant and durable, though it should be kept away from harsh abrasive cleaners.

Are the security features effective?

Yes, the window includes toughened external glazing, laminated inner panes, and integrated frame locks for high burglary resistance.

Troubleshooting

Window fails to open via wall switch

Check that the battery is fully charged. If the window has been in the dark for an extended period, allow it several hours of direct daylight to charge.

Rain sensor does not close window during light rain

Check the sensor surface for accumulated dirt or debris that may be preventing moisture detection; gently clean the sensor with a soft, damp cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Completely wireless installation via solar power
  • Automatic rain closure adds peace of mind
  • Easy to clean from the inside due to the centre-pivot mechanism
  • Enhanced security features like toughened glass and locking pins
  • Smooth white finish matches contemporary interiors

Cons

  • Solar battery performance can be affected by heavily shaded roof positions
  • Specific roof pitch requirements (15 to 90 degrees)
  • Significant installation project compared to a standard fixed window

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a professional roof window installer to ensure proper flashing and weatherproofing. This unit is compatible with roof pitches between 15° and 90°. For maintenance, clean the white painted timber frame with a damp cloth to remove dust. The external glass should be cleaned at least twice a year to ensure the solar cell can harvest maximum sunlight for the battery. Ensure the top-mounted ventilation bar remains clear of debris to keep airflow channels efficient during closed-window scenarios.
