Abstract
A skylight cover is provided that includes a light transmitting body including first and second integral lenses. The first and second integral lenses define polygonal perimeters, each polygonal perimeter having a first element and a second element residing therein, the first and second elements disposed adjacent to each other in each instance. The skylight cover may include a plurality of ridges and creases, the individual, respective ridges and creases disposed in advantageous configurations. The cover may likewise include a plurality of surfaces, some optionally parallel and some optionally co-planar.

A skylight cover, comprising:
- a light transmitting body defining a longitude and having an upward side and a downward side, the downward side defining a concavity, the upward side comprising:
- a first surface and a second surface, the first surface being parallel to the second surface
- a third surface and a fourth surface, the third surface being parallel to the fourth surface;
- a fifth surface and a sixth surface, the fifth surface being parallel to the sixth surface;
- a seventh surface and an eighth surface, the seventh surface being parallel to the eighth surface;
- and
- a first corrugation;
- wherein none of the first, third, fifth, and seventh surfaces are parallel;
- wherein the third surface is directly adjacent to the first surface and the fifth surface is directly adjacent to the first and third surfaces, and wherein the first corrugation resides traverse to the longitude of the body and the first corrugation bisects the seventh surface.

- a second face bounded by the second ridge and the second crease, wherein the first crease and the second crease are parallel and at least one of the first face and second face is triangular;
- a corrugation residing traverse to the longitude of the body, wherein the corrugation bisects the first panel between the first face and the second face;
- a second panel;
- and
- an apex and the second panel is disposed between the first panel and the apex of the exterior surface.
