subject: Solar Window Shades Are A Great Way Of Staying Out Of The Sun [print this page] Solar window shades are an excellent option for keeping energy costs down, but also allowing the option of letting the sunlight in during the winter months. Energy conservation seems to be on the top of everyone's list these days. There are so many benefits to conserving energy besides the benefit to your bank account.
We all realize now that we have turned into a society that uses far too much energy, and that there are actually some really simple things that we can all do to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels. One of the simplest things you could do is to install solar window shades.
Solar screens are a perfect idea if you live in a region where it's hot all the time, where you don't experience a change within the seasons, but if you live in an area where you do experience a winter they may not be the best option.
Solar screens keep the heat of the sun out all of the time, all year long. The only option you have with solar screens is to keep them on the windows or take them off. It is a hassle to have to remove them. Solar window shades on the other hand, offer the option of keeping them down or rolling them up, they don't have to be removed.
This is an incredible option if you live in a region where you must keep the summer heat out, but can benefit from letting the winter sunshine in to warm things up.
Being able to control the quantity of sunshine that gets into a room can really add up to savings. In the summer of course keeping the heat of the sun out of a room is important to keep cooling costs down but in the winter allowing the heat in will work the same way, it will reduce the quantity of energy that is needed to keep the room warm.
Solar window shades are just like any other window shades. You simply tug on them a bit for them to roll up and pull them down gently to cover the window. It simply does not get any easier to save energy!
Although these shades have grown in popularity it could be a few years before you're able to find them inside your local home goods retailer. You may buy these shades over the internet. The price is a bit higher than that of the traditional shades, but well worth the investment.
