Benefits of Solar Screens
Solar screens bring a multitude of benefits to enhance the comfort and energy efficiency of your home.
Customizable Design & Style
At Texas Rolling Shutters & Screens, we offer solar window screens in a wide selection of colors, fabric densities, and frame options, giving homeowners the flexibility to match their San Antonio area home’s unique style. Whether you’re aiming for a seamless look to blend with your existing screen doors or want a bold contrast to highlight your sliding glass doors, we make it easy to customize your solar shades to fit your vision.
View Enhancement
Whether you’re relaxing on your patio or enjoying your indoor spaces, maintaining privacy is essential for many homeowners. Our solar shades act as a privacy barrier during daylight hours, allowing you to see out while making it difficult for anyone outside to see in. This added layer of privacy enhancement helps you enjoy your outdoor living areas in peace.
Sun Protection
San Antonio’s hot climate means your home is constantly exposed to intense sunlight. Our solar window screens block up to 95% of harmful UV rays and heat gain, helping to protect your interior spaces, furniture, and flooring from sun damage. By stopping solar heat gain before it enters your home’s windows, these screens also help lower indoor temperatures, reducing strain on your air conditioner and ultimately lowering your electric bill.
Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings
With solar window screens installed, your air conditioner won’t have to work as hard to keep your home cool. By blocking sunlight before it reaches your home’s windows, our screens help reduce heat gain, directly contributing to energy savings. Many customers report lower electric bills after installing solar window screens, making them a smart investment for San Antonio area homeowners looking to save money.
Pets & Pest Barrier
Our solar window screens do more than block the sun — they help protect your home from unwanted bugs and provide a barrier to keep pets safely inside. Whether you’re shielding your sliding glass doors, screen doors, or windows, the adjustable bottom bar ensures a snug fit to protect your home from bugs, keeping your San Antonio area home comfortable and critter-free.
Home Automation Integration
Imagine adjusting your home’s rolling shutters, solar screens, or retractable awnings with just a simple voice command. Whether you’re cozying up for a movie and need to darken the room, or you want to let in the morning sun without leaving your bed, our products offer the ultimate convenience by responding to your voice-activated commands. Integration with Google Home and Amazon Alexa means that controlling the ambiance and security of your home has never been easier or more accessible. Additionally, through our dedicated app powered by Bond, you can manage all of Texas Rolling Shutters & Screens’ products directly from your smartphone, no matter where you are.

Solar Screen Applications
Solar screens can be used in many applications, whether you’re looking for something to cool down your patio or install an energy-efficient window treatment.
Patios
Your San Antonio area patio is a prime spot for relaxing and entertaining, but the hot Texas sun can make it uncomfortable. Adding solar window screens to your patio creates a shaded retreat, helping you save money on cooling costs while protecting your outdoor furniture from sun damage. With cooler temperatures and reduced glare, your patio becomes the perfect place to sit and enjoy the fresh air.
Screened-In Porches
Turn your screened porch into a cool retreat with solar window screens. These screens provide both shade and privacy, creating a more comfortable, bug-free outdoor space you can enjoy year-round.
Four-season Rooms
Transform your San Antonio area sunroom or four-season room into a comfortable space year-round with solar window screens. By blocking heat gain and reducing glare, these screens improve comfort without blocking natural light. They also help maintain privacy and keep bugs out, so you can sit and enjoy your space no matter the season.
Glass Windows & Doors
Whether you have large glass windows, sliding glass doors, or screen doors, solar window screens help protect your home’s windows from heat gain and UV damage. They enhance energy efficiency, reduce glare, and provide homeowners with an easy way to save money on cooling costs while maintaining privacy and enjoying outdoor views.
Sunrooms
San Antonio’s sunrooms are often designed to take advantage of natural light, but too much sunlight can make these spaces uncomfortable. Installing solar window screens in your sunroom lets you control light and temperature while preserving your outdoor views.
Sliding Glass Doors
Large sliding glass doors are a popular feature in many San Antonio homes, but they’re also a major source of heat gain. By installing solar window screens, you can protect your interior from excessive sunlight, keep your air conditioner from overworking, and save money on your electric bill. These screens maintain outdoor views while enhancing privacy and blocking bugs.
Pergolas & Outdoor Structures
Your San Antonio area pergola can become an even more inviting space with the addition of solar window screens. By filtering sunlight and protecting from bugs, these screens create a cooler, more enjoyable outdoor area perfect for sitting with family and friends. Whether installed on a standalone pergola or part of a larger patio setup, they enhance both comfort and privacy.
Pool Areas
For homeowners with pools in the San Antonio area, solar window screens provide shade and privacy enhancement for sliding glass doors leading to your backyard oasis. By keeping your pool deck cooler and protecting your home’s windows from direct sunlight, these screens enhance comfort for everyone enjoying your outdoor space.
Commercial Buildings
Businesses in San Antonio can also benefit from solar window screens. From sliding glass doors to office windows, our screens help reduce heat gain, protect interiors, lower energy costs, and create more comfortable spaces for employees and customers alike. Many commercial customers choose solar window screens for their ability to enhance both privacy and energy efficiency.
Balconies & Upper-Level Decks
Many San Antonio homes feature second-story balconies or elevated decks that are exposed to harsh sun for most of the day. Installing solar window screens helps shade these areas, reducing heat gain and making them more comfortable for relaxing or entertaining.
Home Offices
With more homeowners in San Antonio working remotely, adding solar screens to your home office windows can enhance comfort and reduce glare on computer screens—creating a more productive environment.
