The FVS G31 is a deck-mounted solar venting skylight designed to bring natural light, fresh air, and remote-controlled operation into the room. It is powered by an integrated solar panel and does not require hardwiring, making it a practical option for out-of-reach installations or projects where electrical wiring is not preferred.
The skylight features G31 Low-E glazing, a natural wood interior frame, an integrated insect screen, durable exterior aluminum cladding, and a built-in rain sensor. The included remote control operates the skylight and can also be used with compatible FAKRO solar-powered accessories purchased separately.
Key Features of the FVS G31 Solar Venting Skylight
- Solar Powered Operation: Integrated photovoltaic panel and battery-powered system allow remote operation without hardwiring.
- Remote Control Included: Allows convenient opening and closing of the skylight from below. The remote can also operate compatible FAKRO solar-powered accessories purchased separately.
- Automatic Rain Sensor: Automatically closes the skylight when rainfall is detected for added protection. The sensor is inactive when the skylight is closed.

- Condensation Protection: Triple-seal gasket system and perimeter gasket under the frame enhance insulation and help prevent moisture build-up.
