This home at 30 Lighthouse Lane in Warwick was ready for a skylight upgrade. The homeowner wanted natural light and ventilation without the complexity of hardwired electrical — a perfect fit for the VELUX Solar Powered Fresh Air Skylight. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights installed the new units with the complete VELUX No Leak flashing system, transforming the interior with daylight and one-touch ventilation.
Scope of Work
Pinnacle removed the existing skylights and installed new VELUX Solar Powered Fresh Air Skylights with the full No Leak flashing kit. Each unit was carefully integrated into the existing roof plane with factory step flashing, deck seal, and weatherproof underlayment. The solar panels and battery systems were tested for full operation — open, close, and rain sensor — before the crew left the site.
What We Installed (And Why)
The VELUX Solar Powered Fresh Air Skylight features a solar panel that captures available daylight to recharge a concealed, highly efficient battery-powered operator. The skylight opens and closes at the touch of a button using an included remote control — no electrical wiring needed. A built-in rain sensor automatically closes the skylight in wet weather, so the homeowner never has to worry about leaving it open during a storm.
The ventilation function is a genuine energy benefit: opening the skylight creates natural convective airflow that reduces reliance on air conditioning in warmer months. In cooler weather, the advanced Low-E3 glass coating blocks heat loss while allowing maximum daylight transmission. The remote control allows the homeowner to adjust ventilation seasonally — open for fresh air in spring and fall, closed for insulation in winter.
VELUX’s No Leak flashing system backs every installation with a 10-year warranty covering both the skylight and its installation against leaks — an industry-first guarantee that’s only available through credentialed VELUX installers like Pinnacle.

Good To Know
Venting skylights are not just about fresh air — they’re a passive cooling strategy. Warm air naturally rises, and an open skylight at the high point of a room creates a chimney effect that draws cooler air in through lower windows and exhausts warm air through the skylight. This natural convection can meaningfully reduce air conditioning usage in the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) and on mild summer days. The VELUX rain sensor means the homeowner can leave the skylight cracked open without worrying about unexpected rain — the unit closes itself automatically when it detects moisture.
Why This Approach Works
Solar-powered skylights hit the sweet spot between performance and simplicity. The homeowner gets ventilation, light control, and energy efficiency without the cost and disruption of running electrical wiring. The VELUX No Leak system and 10-year installation warranty provide peace of mind on the waterproofing, and the solar-powered operator means no ongoing electrical maintenance. It’s a self-contained system that delivers both daylight and fresh air with minimal long-term upkeep.

Warwick, RI
Warwick is Rhode Island’s second-largest city, stretching along the western shore of Narragansett Bay with neighborhoods ranging from waterfront properties in Conimicut and Warwick Neck to suburban developments inland. Homes near the water face accelerated weathering from salt air and coastal exposure, making quality roofing and skylight installations particularly important. Pinnacle has completed numerous projects throughout Warwick and knows the local building requirements and coastal conditions well.
