Solar screens get their performance by cutting visible light and absorption. Since visible light is only responsible for 44% of heat, the claim (made by Solar screen people) of 80% - 90% heat reduction is misleading. Further, solar screens cut at most 70% of UV light, which is the major cause of fading.
