yeah, our house is about 90% south facing and it kills us during the summer. we need better window treatments but have been putting those off because i priced them out and it's about $500 for our remaining windows so we just have basic curtains up. our A/C can't keep up on summer afternoons. the house is IDEAL for solar panels because of the south facing orientation though, but we are waiting until the cost comes down and a solar co-op comes to town before pulling the trigger on that, but i admit it factored into my decision when we bought the house
