Skylights a good idea in Puna?

A few pics of skylight. My understanding is that as long as there is a 4 inch margin on all pieces where the translucent panels are places, and a sealing agent is used, they should be water tight.

I've been in homes build in the 70's that have had this type of skylight and they are stable and do not leak.
