For construction professionals, understanding the cost to install solar shades is crucial for accurate project planning. Installation costs can range from $275 to $850 per window, depending on factors like fabric type, motorization, and window size. This guide provides detailed insights into these costs, helping you make informed decisions.
1. Fabric & Openness
High-performance fabrics with low openness can increase costs but offer better heat blocking.
2. Manual vs. Motorized
Motorized options add $150-$300 per opening for motors and integration.
3. Window Dimensions
Larger windows require custom solutions, impacting labor and material costs.
4. Mounting Conditions
Complex installations on masonry or steel require specialized labor and materials.
