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.

We have a customer who is up against a very unhappy neighborhood in
Wyoming regarding his solar installation. It consists of 24, Schott
Poly mods flush mounted on a 4/12 pitch, metal standing seam roof. The
next door neighbor is complaining that the glare from the modules is
blinding him at certain points in the day (and year).
Has anyone come up against this issue and do you have any solutions
that we may employ (i.e. anti-glare film, some kind of coating, a
shade cloth). The customer is more than happy to lose efficiency
instead of losing the entire installation.
Thanks-
