स्कायलाइट या शब्दाचा अर्थ इमारतीच्या छतावर बसवलेली खिडकी, जी वरून नैसर्गिक प्रकाश आत येऊ देते. हे घरातील जागांना प्रकाशित करण्यास, वायुवीजन सुधारण्यास आणि मोकळेपणाची भावना निर्माण करण्यास मदत करते. खिडक्यांसाठी अतिरिक्त भिंतीची जागा न घेता खोल्या उजळण्यासाठी घरांमध्ये स्कायलाइट्सचा वापर केला जातो. ते दिवसा कृत्रिम प्रकाशावरील अवलंबित्व कमी करण्याचा ऊर्जा-कार्यक्षम मार्ग देखील प्रदान करतात.
