Skylights are either made from fiberglass or polycarbonate. Fiberglass roof skylights are the most common type of skylight, but they can turn yellow and lose light transmission. Polycarbonate roof panels are a translucent panel that will match the corrugated metal panels and allow daylight into the building.

Corrugated Skylight Panels Are Available In Thes Panel Profiles:
7/8" Corrugated
R Panel or PBR Panel
Western Rib or 7.2 Panel
Ag Panels

Can Polycarbonate skylight panels be used for siding?
Yes, this is done towards the top six to eight feet of the wall. It is a more weather-tight solution vs using the skylights on the roof.

Skylight Pros
By using natural light you will decrease your energy cost.

They are more likely to leak vs metal roofing or siding panels.
