VELUX VSS S01 Solar Opening Skylight – 1140 × 700mm
The VELUX VSS S01 is a wide low-profile opening size when horizontal daylight spread matters more than height. It combines natural daylight with solar-powered opening, wireless control, an automatic rain sensor and a removable insect screen. The external solar panel recharges the concealed battery used for operation, so no hard-wired skylight motor is required.

Why choose this size?
Where VSS S01 Works Best
VSS S01 is well suited to wide kitchens, living areas, feature ceilings, hallways and dining zones where both daylight and controllable ventilation are useful.
Choose VSS S01 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 1140 × 700mm 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 S01?
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 S01
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 S01
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 S01 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 S01 Solar Opening Skylight
VSS S01 combines a 1140 × 700mm 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°.

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.

Lagan H –
These skylights are excellent in quality and incredibly easy to install. Simply position them, secure them with screws, and they’ll self-seal without the need for caulking. If you have to construct or replace the curb beforehand, it will take more effort and time, but the flashing kit proved to be highly effective in my experience.
Amyas C –
I was delighted to discover these skylights at an affordable price without compromising on quality
Darryl V –
Good quality
Sigmund –
How nice it is, thanks so much
Shanley –
I recently replaced an old plastic bubble skylight with a Velux, and the process turned out to be much simpler than I anticipated. The frame from my existing fixture was slightly undersized, so I only needed to add a few 1×2 fillers to make it work. The entire project was completed in about an hour.
Manfred –
I love Velux skylight
Bertram –
So easy to install, works great
Hubert –
It appears to block heat more effectively than my previous ones. However, there were some smudges on the inside of the glass panes, and the sides were slightly warped due to shipping. Aside from that, it’s been a great product so far
Roderick –
It worked perfectly!
Alvar –

Cuthbert D –

Bevis Z –
Good service, shipping was very quick
Seward V –
The Velux skylight has truly impressed me—it’s a significant upgrade from the acrylic model I previously had. The clear glass offers an unobstructed view of the sky, and it keeps the room cooler even when the sun is shining directly in. Overall, it’s an excellent product, and I’m eager to see how it holds up during the rainy winter months
