Shade screens — like sunglasses for your house

Changing up your wardrobe to keep comfortable? You can do the same for your house. Protect your home's interior from the sun's rays while staying comfortable with a shade screen rebate.

Windows can account for nearly 50% of the heat that enters your home. Shade screens are one of the most effective and least expensive ways to boost your home's energy efficiency, especially now with the SRP rebate of $0.80 per square foot.

Program details

• Qualifying shade screens must be installed on sun-struck windows only — west-, south- and east-facing windows — and block at least 80% of the solar heat gain.
• The screens must be installed on the exterior of clear glass windows that enclose an air-conditioned space.
• Applicants must be current SRP residential electric customers with existing homes.
• Applicants must purchase and install new or refurbished, qualifying shade screens with a licensed contractor from May 1, 2011, through April 30, 2012.
