Solar screens are very simple in design, they block radiation and heat. If your windows do not heat up, then your air conditioning system doesn't cycle on as often, and your electric bill goes down. This prolongs the life of your air conditioning system. For a small one time investment, solar screens make a lot of sense. Most people recoup their investment in just a few years.
Solar screens really work and they are affordable.
