VELUX VSS C06 Solar Opening Skylight – 550 × 1180mm

It combines natural daylight with solar-powered opening, wireless control, an automatic rain sensor and a removable insect screen.

Why choose this size?
Where VSS C06 Works Best
VSS C06 is well suited to bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, laundries, hallways and stair zones where both daylight and controllable ventilation are useful.
Choose VSS C06 When
- You want fresh-air ventilation as well as daylight
- You prefer solar operation rather than a hard-wired skylight motor
- A rain sensor is valuable for unattended ventilation
- The roof can accommodate the 550 × 1180mm pitched-roof opening
- You want wireless operation for an out-of-reach or high-ceiling application
Consider Another Model When
- You need daylight only — compare the same-size VELUX FS
- You want simple manual ventilation — compare VELUX VS
- You already have mains power planned — compare VELUX VSE where available
- The roof pitch is below the normal 15° VSS range
- The roof structure does not suit the required opening
Which Flashing Should You Use With VSS C06?
Flashing is sold separately. Choose the roof interface from the actual roof material, profile and pitch — not simply from the skylight size.
VELUX FACTORY FLASHING VELUX EDW C06
Use EDW where the roof is a compatible concrete/terracotta tile or conventional low-profile corrugated application in the normal pitched-roof range.
- Concrete or terracotta tiles
- Compatible conventional corrugated metal
- 15°–90° pitched-roof applications
- Factory flashing matched to the VELUX size
CENTRAL CUSTOM FLASHING Custom COLORBOND® Flashing C06
Use a roof-profile-specific custom solution for metal-roof details where standard EDW is not the correct interface.
- Corrugated custom applications
- TRIMDEK® roofs
- KLIP-LOK® roofs
- Prefabricated or Flat Pack options
- COLORBOND® colour and backflash options
Roof below 15°? VSS is a pitched-roof skylight. Do not simply install it flat to a lower-pitch roof plane. The project may need an assessed inclined custom flashing that raises the unit to a suitable angle, or a flat-roof VELUX model may be more appropriate.
Solar operation
How the VSS Solar System Works
External Solar Panel
Charges the concealed battery used to operate the skylight, including when the sun is not shining.
Wireless Keypad
Open and close the skylight from the included radio-frequency wall-mounted control.
Rain Sensor
Automatically closes the skylight when rain is detected while the skylight is open.
Electrical planning: the VSS skylight motor does not need a hard-wired mains connection. This does not mean other electrical work in the room or project is never required.
Not sure whether VSS C06 is the right size or flashing?
Send room, ceiling and roof photos. We can help compare VSS against fixed, manual and electric options and match the flashing to the roof profile.
VELUX VSS C06 Solar Opening Skylight
VSS C06 combines a 550 × 1180mm pitched-roof frame with solar-powered opening, wireless control, rain-sensor protection and an insect screen. It is designed for rooms where daylight and fresh air are both priorities.
The VSS range is available in 10 current Australian sizes and is designed for suitable pitched-roof installations from 15° to 90°.
VSS C06 Size, Glass & Ventilation

Roof Types & Flashing
Use VELUX EDW on compatible tile / conventional low-profile corrugated roofs, or the matching custom COLORBOND® flashing for profiles such as TRIMDEK and KLIP-LOK.
Solar, Battery, Keypad & Rain Sensor
The external solar panel recharges the concealed battery used for opening and closing. A wireless wall-mounted keypad is included, and the rain sensor automatically closes the skylight when rain is detected.
