The Solar Guys: Orlando’s Source for Huper Optik Tint and Solar Powered Attic Fans

Since 2001, the Solar Guys have been equipping the Sunshine State with energy-saving technology including solar powered attic fans and Huper Optik tint windows.  With budgets getting tighter and tighter, these breakthroughs couldn’t have come at a better time.

In the last decade plus, solar power has played a key role in the global energy market.  This booming industry is now an integral part of our country’s politics and economics.  The demand was met with the advancement of energy-efficient technology.  With proven energy-saving benefits, Orlando Huper Optik tint films and solar powered attic fans are among the smartest investments for residential and commercial buildings.

Huper Optik Tint in Orlando

With competitive prices and unmatched customer support, the Solar Guys are Orlando’s premier supplier of Huper Optik tint for windows.  Not only can this technology reduce energy cost, but it can also increase the lifetime of furniture by blocking harmful UV rays.

During Florida’s peak season, Huper Optik tint films can reduce utility bills by 30 percent.  For some families, that means hundreds of dollars in savings.  Besides lowering energy cost, Huper Optik windows have these added benefits:

·         Darker windows enhance privacy without affecting your ability to see out the window.
·         If a window breaks, the film reduces the risk of flying glass, which is an important benefit for families with young children.
·         Like sunglasses, the film reduces glare, which improves your ability to see out the window.
·         The film improves security by preventing intruders from seeing into your home.

Huper Optik tint blocks 99 percent of UV rays.  Combine the advantages of saving money and enhanced security with the competitive prices of the Solar Guys, and it’s hard to imagine a home that wouldn’t benefit from Huper Optik technology.

Orlando Solar Powered Attic Fans

Solar powered attic fans are among the most popular products offered by the Solar Guys.  Although sun and incredible weather make Florida an incredible place to live, humidity and 90-degree temperatures can make homes hot, sticky and uncomfortable. 

In many homes, attics are not properly insulated, meaning they tend to let in solar heat and trap it.  This inevitably seeps into living spaces, which forces our air conditioners to work harder and increases energy bills. 

But fear not, because a solar powered attic fan is the perfect solution.  Powered by sunlight, a solar powered fan reduces air temperature without increasing energy cost.  The Solar Guys have experience installing this unit in a range of home designs and can put one in your home in no time.

Put the Sun to Work While Minimizing Problems of Excessive Sunlight


Sunlight is amazing. It makes plants grow and can generate electricity. When you can harness sunlight and make it work for you, you can save money and accomplish more with less damage to the planet than with other types of energy. But you don't have to outfit your home with solar panels to benefit from sunlight. At The Solar Guys we can help you manage sunlight in your existing home.

Bring Sunlight Where You Never Thought You Could

If you have dark stairwells, laundry rooms, or closets that are difficult to light effectively, consider Ocala solar lights that route sunlight through your roof to exactly where you need it. Unlike skylights, Ocala solar lights that utilize specially made tubes are more cost effective, won't disrupt your roofline, and install quickly. Best of all, you'll no longer have to use artificial lighting in those dim spaces during the daytime.

Solar Lighting Doesn't Have to Be Expensive

With solar tube lighting, you get the lighting solution you need without the expense or upheaval involved in installing a traditional skylight. You'll get beautiful, natural daylight exactly where you want it, and you can significantly cut down on the amount of artificial lighting you have to use. You'll use less electricity and have a "greener" home.

Some Rooms May Capture Too Much Sunlight

There is such a thing as too much sunlight, as you know if you have a room that gets a lot of direct sun. It can fade furniture and carpets and create hot spots that make your AC system have to work harder. But there is a simple and marvelously effective solution: Ocala home window tint films. They reduce sunlight flooding rooms without compromising your view.

Window Tint Offers Numerous Benefits

Ocala home window tint services help your AC system run more efficiently, reduce fading, and even afford you more privacy, all while preserving the view from your windows. Homes with window tinting are more comfortable, experience less fading and other damage caused by excessive sunlight, and make it harder for strangers to see into your home. At The Solar Guys, we're all about managing sunlight for a better home.

Reduce Your Home's Cooling Demand and Cut Energy Usage


Who doesn't look at their utility bill and wish they could spend less to have a comfortable home? Yet installing solar panels is a much bigger and more expensive project than most people can reasonably undertake. Fortunately, there are many other options. Call The Solar Guys: we're the Huper Optik tint specialists, and we offer other methods for reducing your home's energy demand, including solar powered attic fans.

Window Tint Film Reduces a Home's Cooling Burden
Huper Optik tint specialists apply a transparent film to home windows to reduce the amount of sunlight transmitted through and cutting down on the hot spots that occur when sunlight hits unprotected windows. These window tint films do not compromise your view, yet they make a major difference in the burden on your home's air conditioning system. And most people won't even know the films are there.

Other Benefits of Window Tint Film
Window tint film has benefits beyond cutting down on the hot sunlight beating through windows. It doesn't compromise your view out, but it does make it harder for people to see into your home, increasing your privacy. And if a window is shattered by a projectile, the film helps hold the pieces together, improving safety by reducing flying glass.

Solar Attic Fans Make a Real Difference in Cooling Costs
Attics trap solar heat gained through the roof. This excess heat is transferred into living spaces, putting more strain on the cooling system. When attics are insufficiently ventilated, high humidity can cause damp insulation and cause plywood to deteriorate. A solar powered attic fan is powered by sunlight, with no electricity required. Hot air is blown out of the attic before it transfers into the living space, significantly reducing cooling burden.

Simple Changes Make a Big Difference in Energy Efficiency
You do not have to retrofit your home with a solar array to significantly cut utility costs. Specially designed window tint films and solar powered attic fans make your home more comfortable in the summer and keep utility bills under control. At The Solar Guys, we can work with the home you have and make it much more energy efficient and comfortable.

Control Sunlight for a More Comfortable, Energy Efficient Home


Do you sometimes wish you could take that sunlight beating down on your picture window and direct it to a dark, dreary interior room? There are actually several ways you can harness sunlight and use it to your advantage, while preventing too much of a good thing and the heavier load on your air conditioning system that comes from it. At The Solar Guys, we help you get sunlight where you want it and control sunlight where you have too much.

Window Tint and Home Energy Usage

Did you know that up to one-third of your air conditioning bill is due to solar radiation causing hot spots in your home? Home window tint, consisting of thin, transparent films professionally applied to windows, can greatly cut down on this solar load without compromising your view. The result is less strain on your AC, and less fading of interior furnishings.

Window Tint and Your Privacy

Home window tint also increases privacy. If you live in a busy area and worry about people seeing into your home, you can have specially designed window films applied that effectively minimize the view from the outside in, while preserving your view from the inside out. What's more, window films can help hold shattered windows together, helping protect property and people from flying glass after window impact.

Move Sunlight to Where You Need It

Solar lights are similar to skylights, but they are very low-profile and can direct sunlight where traditional skylights cannot. These tube-shaped devices capture sunlight from your roof, and reflect it into an interior room, providing beautiful, natural daylight without drafts or leaks. They're perfect for that interior bathroom or closet, and they won't let your air conditioned air out or let rain in.

Reduce the Need for Artificial Lighting

Solar lights can actually help cut energy bills by reducing the need for artificial light during the day. Combined with heat-blocking window film, you could notice a significant difference in your electricity bills. At The Solar Guys, we know how to diminish sunlight where there's too much of it, and bring welcome sunlight to where you could use it, all while improving your home's overall energy efficiency.

Huper Optik Helps You Manage Daylight and Cut Cooling Costs

Sunlight lets us enjoy reading next to a window, keeps us warm, and lifts our spirits. Scientists today are learning how to use sunlight for its maximum benefits, while avoiding problems like overheating. You do not have to install solar panels on your home to enjoy the many benefits of natural sunlight. The Solar Guys can deliver sunlight where it's needed, and deflect it where it's too strong.

Delivering Daylight Where It Is Needed

Even if you live in a sunny climate, there are probably parts of your home that don't receive sunlight: stairwells, interior bathrooms, and closets are the most common windowless interior spaces. Compact, tube-shaped skylights can deliver sunlight to these dark interior spaces, cutting down on the need for artificial lighting and making your home feel more welcoming and open. These skylights won't spoil your roofline and install quickly.

Cutting Down on Sunlight Where There Is Too Much

There are usually times during the summer when you wish there wasn't so much sunlight beating down on windows. Closing the drapes can make your home feel dark and uninviting, but leaving them open causes rooms to heat up. Fortunately, there are products like Huper Optik - microthin films placed on windows that cut down on sunlight coming through while preserving your view beautifully.

Using Sunlight to Help Keep Homes Cooler

Did you know you can use hot summer sun to help keep your home cooler? Solar Star makes attic fans that are solar powered. They use bright sunlight to provide power for a fan that blows hot air out of the attic. A cooler attic means less stress on your air conditioning system. Solar Star attic fans are unobtrusive and can make a real difference in your summer cooling bills.

Lower Energy Bills and a Greener, More Comfortable Home

With today's technology, sunlight can be harnessed to increase comfort and lower utility costs. Dark spaces can be beautifully illuminated with skylights, windows can let in light but block heat, and attic fans can be powered by the sun to help your air conditioner work efficiently. Let The Solar Guys show you how.

In Orlando, Home Window Tint Products Have Many Benefits

The beautiful weather in Orlando has a down side – the heat of the sun and its damaging UV rays can drive the cost of cooling your home through the roof. One thing to consider if you live in Orlando – home window tint products that promise to reduce your energy bills by filtering the UV rays through a special tinted material. Products like Huber Optik tinted window films offer a number of benefits for homeowners in Orlando and Ocala.

Home Window Tint Benefits
Untinted windows let in a lot of heat, especially in the middle of the day. Your air conditioner has to work harder to keep your home comfortable, burning through your energy budget the way the sun burns through your windows. But when you have your windows treated by an Orlando home window tint company, you can lower your energy bills by as much as 30% during the hottest months of year. A high quality window tint applied by an experienced company like The Solar Guys reduces thermal transfer, making it cooler and more comfortable indoors.

In addition to the energy savings, solar tint window films provide a number of other benefits.
  • UV rays are as damaging to your furniture, drapes and carpeting as they are to your skin. The top quality tinted films sold by The Solar Guys block 99% of the sun’s harmful rays, practically eliminating the fading and damage from the sun. Protect your expensive upholstery, window treatments and carpeting with home window tint products with an Ocala home window tint installer from our company.
  • Your beautiful views will be enhanced by the window tint, which functions much like the glare reduction of a pair of high quality sunglasses. You can see better and enjoy your view more.
  • Just because you can see out doesn’t mean that others can see in. Tinted window films increase your privacy by making it harder for people outside to see in through your windows. You can choose the degree of darkness or reflectivity of your solar reducing window films.
  • Finally, the window films reduce the chances of your windows shattering into dangerous shards on impact, increasing your safety.
At The Solar Guys, we can install Orlando home window tint to your windows in one to two days with almost no disruption to your home or your daily activities at a reasonable cost that will pay for itself over time in reduced energy bills and increased home value.
