[RE-wrenches] Reducing Glare from Solar Modules

[Bill Loesch]

Sequoya,

Shade cloth applied to the outside of the window frame on select windows 
where the glare is objectionable not only reduces the solar intensity 
but also reduces the heat load significantly better than any interior 
shade or curtain. The exterior shades (which cam be attached by snaps) 
can be removed for winter to allow full solar input. The glare 
(reflection) would be reflected in a different direction in winter v. 
summer.
