multiple unit skylights/ roof ridge skylights Explanation: Skylights are available in almost any configuration that you could want. Skylights made of glass and composite are usually built up from flat sections, while plastic skylights can be molded into virtually any desired shape. Skylights made of reinforced plastic materials can easily be curved in one direction. see pics of various types athttp://www.oikos.com/library/eem/skylights/materials.html. The KES 210 is perfect for economical electric operation of a single skylight with sunscreening accessory. For multiple unit skylight and sunscreening installations, the KES 310 offers expanded electric control capabilities Reference: http://www.jonespg.com/Skylights/velux.html.
