When closed, solar shades block out the sun’s rays while allowing visible light to enter the room. This reduces heat gain from the sun during the summer months, making the air conditioner less necessary and providing the benefits of reduced cooling costs. During the winter months, solar shades can be opened to allow sunlight to enter the room and provide passive solar heat gain, reducing the need for electric heating.
Solar shades can be motorized, so they can be raised or lowered with the press of a button. This allows homeowners to properly adjust the shades based on the amount of sunlight and heat they want to admit. In addition, motorized shades can be set to operate on a timer, helping keep the room at a constant temperature even when you’re not home.
Solar shades are also available with an open-weave fabric, which allows air to filter through, reducing the effects of wind and providing natural ventilation. This helps keep air circulating and leaves
