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.
