I always liked 'natural' lighting, any windows to the universe?

We have a winner! There is a somewhat significant engineering issue with the second floor. Because I don't want dormers or a shed roof section, it limits my options of windows. The double sliding doors on the pond side is fine. The smaller window at the opposite gable end is OK, albeit limited for light and ventilation. The entire 42' of living space in between has nothing for natural lighting and/or ventilation.
The roof is going to be a standing seam roof (snap-together panels). I am not opposed to using roof windows (sky-lights), but very nervous about installing them into a metal roof. I have installed the metal roofs and I have installed roof windows, but I have never installed roof windows into a metal roof. I'm geeked out about a thorough, weather tight seal on a 3 dimensional roofing product like standing seam metal. What's the consensus?
