A tip, shading the window from the outside is more effective than from the inside. It’s because as sun passes through the glass, it heats up the inside. But if you prevent the sun from blazing through the window then it really makes a difference. This is why houses with eaves tend to be stay cooler than those without, eaves partially shade the windows and walls from direct sun.
