Since we summer in Kansas and 110 degree heat indices are common and 110 degrees actual isn't unheard of, I can give you actual experience on this one. First year we were factory direct and suffered as you are thru that first summer. Then we added removable outside sun screens to our three rear windows (south facing at the home base) that made a noticeable improvement. Then we added slide toppers and awnings on the dining room and both living room windows and that made a huge difference. Now we have light blocking shades in the bedroom , the afore mentioned additions in the living area, a reflective mat velcroed to the shower skylight (we want the light and the heat in the winter), insulation pads in the vents and light blockers for the living room and dining room if it's too windy for the awnings. Heat index is 108 today and, while the AC's are running often, it's nice in here.
