What is solar shading

In is simplest form, solar shading is any device which excludes sunshine from a building, like a curtain or an awning for example. However, there is an extremely wide variety of solar shading products available which range in function and sophistication.

Solar shading controls the amount of heat and light admitted to a building. By doing so, solar shading devices can offer energy saving in various areas. They can reduce the need for heating or air conditioning by maintaining a more even temperature despite varying climatic conditions. They can also cut the amount of energy required for lighting, by admitting more light during overcast conditions for example.
