Your home’s windows are actually the weakest point of your house for keeping the heat of the sun out and the cool a/c in. Most windows allow over 50% of the sun’s energy to filter into your home and allow up to 40% of your expensive air-conditioning to escape at the same time. Considering that air-conditioning is a very large portion of your electric bill – especially in Arizona (Phoenix and Tucson) – any reduction in energy spent on A/C can result in considerable cost savings for you as a homeowner. Some people have reported up to 25% lower electric bills after they installed solar window screens.
Solar window screens also provide other benefits:
- Protect your home’s interior from harmful/damaging UV rays
- Improve privacy and family safety by reducing visibility into your home
- Provide protection from small dust particles and light debris during dust storms
- Reduce harsh reflections and glare within your home
