Default skylights?

At first i thought it a good idea to get lots of skylights pointing south
but on further investigation some say that they can get too hot in summer
and some say its best to have them in the north facing roof.

What experience do the panel have of skylights?


A couple of years ago we converted the loft on our old house.

We put in two big south facing Velux windows and a fire escape velux.
We found that blinds were important in the summer! Plus, we could
open them to dump heat when it was very hot. Convection works!
