In our climate there will still be big issues with leaks caused by the freeze/thaw cycles. We have to remember that water expands as it turns into ice so it is very likely that those will expand over the winter and then when the temps warm up enough the ice will melt, they will contract in size, and may drop down into the room/porch/shed like a 2 liter bomb. Heaven help whoever/whatever is under it when it come crashing down, oh, and don't forget that there will be a big hole in the roof for rain to come pouring into.

For people who live in the tropics and have a dark room or two, this is a great, cheap, alternative to a skylight. For those of us up north where we have building codes, insulation and freezing weather, well, not such a good idea.
