Phoenix west-glass energy
Phoenix, AZ · Residential

Challenge
Low-desert west glass. Interior cellular shades managed glare after the heat was already inside. HOA wanted a quiet retracted look.
Solution
Cassette (retracted = hood), 13 ft projection, solution-dyed acrylic, sensor. Chips in the HOA packet from /resources. Monsoon microburst rule written on the quote.
Budget
Solaris cassette, 13 ft arms, sand frame, sun/wind sensor: $5,800–$6,600 configured plus certified install.

Results
HOA approved on chips + cassette. Installer matched ZIP. Owner uses the patio in June afternoons.
Energy savings
Exterior shade first. Owner reported the west rooms no longer dump the rest of the house. No invented kWh — see /learn/energy-savings and /learn/uv-protection.
