If it's within your budget, I'd do the skylight when the porch is built rather than add it later. Much easier that way!

Make sure the installation is done correctly, though. If you have a shallow roof pitch, special hardware/flashing is
sometimes needed to prevent leaks.

I would kill to have a back porch with a roof at our house, however my
wife has ruled it out because it will shade the kitchen window and
reduce the amount of light coming into the kitchen window. Our's faces
north, so it's already the low light side of the house.

the better carpenter said to do it and add a skylight to the deck over
those kitchen windows later if it's too dark...my wife is worried about
this too! It's a compromise for sure...
