Does it help in winter?
Solar control mainly limits summer heat. Winter heat loss is governed by the U-value, which depends on the glazing unit and frame.
Will solar-control glass make the room dark?
It lets slightly less light through than clear glass, but a roof lantern admits so much daylight that most people do not notice the difference.

With the midsummer sun about 61.8° high at noon, roof glass in Chingford gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
