About This Product

VELUX solar powered blinds enhance your decor, improve energy efficiency and provide light control with the touch of a button. Room darkening blinds utilize a double-pleated honeycomb structure with an interior aluminum coating to block even the brightest sunlight. Adjust the blind to the desired position to reduce incoming light or block it, making it ideal for bedrooms or TV or entertainment rooms. Many VELUX skylights have built-in Pick&Click! brackets for blind installation, so adding blinds to existing skylights is easy.

Q:Our model number is VS 306 0074D 62 AH08A. Can you advise what blind to order? I do not see this as an option

Answer This Question

A:  We offer solar powered room darkening and light filtering shade options for this skylight. Since it is a previous generation, the shades for this skylight are made to order. You would need to request a quote.

    Q:We have solar powered blinds that were just installed on pre 2010 Velux skylights however now one of the skylights now leaks. Will the blind fit on a new skylight?

    Answer This Question

    A:  Maura, the newer VELUX skylights have a different exposed glass area and the frame is shaped differently; therefore, the shade will not fit the newer skylights. We appreciate your question and invite you to reach out directly at 800-888-3589 to discuss this topic along with options.

        Q:My skylight is model FS SO6 2004D. I would like a manual blind for it but only solar power is offered.

        Answer This Question

        A:  A high percentage of skylight installs are out of reach and lend itself to remote solar powered blinds. Within reach is still an excellent option for a solar blind and the VELUX KLI remote makes blind operation simple and efficient. Solar blinds also qualify for a potential tax credit. We certainly hope you reconsider the VELUX solar option. We appreciate your comments.

              Works well to block light but terrible appearance
              We like the way we can block light with this shade. We ordered white. However, as you can see in the photo, this is anything but white (except where there is light leakage around the edges). We were hoping to match our white ceiling.

              We would like to help you with this issue and appreciate your comments about this shade. Can you remove the insect screen and check the color of the shade? We suspect the shadow may be altering the perception of the shade color. If you would like to discuss this further, please call us @ 1-800-888-3589 or send us an email to: vcustomer.service@velux.com
                Work great and very easy to install.
                I was worried about installing these at first. The instructions are very easy to follow and it virtually snaps together in place with just a few screws for support. You don't have to measure anything as the clips have spacers to align them and they just screw in. The remote is pre-programed so after install you just start using it. Highly recommend them.

                  WORTH EVERY PENNY!
                  These blinds are worth every penny! Extremely easy to install, fit like a glove and reduce both light and heat tremendously. Would absolutely recommend them.

                    Originally, I requested help from manufacturer of our skylight (Velux). Velux provided no assistance and didn't even list this product on their website. They told me my installation was custom and they didn't offer a product to provide light filtering. I found product on Home Depot website and decided to order. Installed with some filler trim and liked result. After installation I sent an email to Velux explaining how this product helped solve a need that I had for a custom Velux skylight. I recommended they add to database for future reference and customer support needs. Thank you Home Depot for offering this "Velux" product with sufficient detail to help homeowners willing to work around non-standard product sizes.

                    These solar powered blinds are great! We purchased three blinds for our velux skylights, one light blocking for our bedroom and two light filtering. They were very easy to install with clear instructions and even came with a little screwdriver for the supplied torx head screws. They have been in a couple weeks and are functioning fine using the supplied remote controls. Each blind has its own remote that only operates that blind. The remote manual says you could program one remote to operate all blinds but one for each is just the way we want it. The light blocking blind keeps our bedroom dark with no noticeable light seepage. The light filtering allows light through without glare. These blinds are great and I would definitely recommend them.

                    Disappointing manufacturing accuracy
                    The blind was specifically designed for the skylight model I have but I had to have a Velux pro come to install it (for $125) and he had a difficult time. Then it didn't fit right. It was too long for the skylight (seemed to have one slat too many) and left light gaps at the edges. When trying to shorten the blind he discovered (too late) that it's no longer possible to do that, due to the design so he had to order a new blind. That was 3 weeks ago because he hasn't been back to my area. So I have aluminum foil taped over the skylight to keep out the summer heat. The new blind is due to be installed in another week but he's only HOPING that it will have been manufactured to the exact size needed. I had previously installed (by myself) Velux pleated shades on 2 skylights in my last house, which went up easily and I loved them but they are no longer offered. I'm told the venetian blinds will soon be discontinued, also. I can see why, if their manufacturing tolerances are as lax as on this one. I don't hold out much hope for the replacement to fit correctly, either.

                    solar powered shades
                    I absolutely love the skylights. We bought them about 10 years ago and they have been great. I have one problem. One of the solar powered shades has quit working, I replaced the batteries in the remote and it still wouldn't work so i tried the remote on one of the other shades and it worked just fine. What can I do now? Can we replace the solar power part of the shade.
