For many Arizona businesses, excessive heat and glare are daily operational challenges — especially in buildings with large glass areas, west-facing windows, or storefront exposure. Commercial solar screens provide one of the most affordable and effective ways to reduce solar heat before it enters the building, without the cost or complexity of motorized exterior shade systems.
At Mr. Wilson, we design and install commercial-grade solar screens that help businesses lower cooling costs, improve comfort, and protect interiors — all while maintaining visibility and a professional exterior appearance. With more than 25 years of experience in window and solar control solutions, we help organizations choose solar screen systems that deliver real performance in Arizona’s intense sun.
Commercial solar screens are exterior-mounted window screens made from specialized solar mesh designed to block a high percentage of sunlight, heat, and UV rays before they reach the glass.
Unlike standard insect screens, solar screens are engineered to:
They act as a passive cooling solution that works continuously, without power or user operation.

Arizona commercial buildings face:
Solar screens directly address these challenges by filtering sunlight outside the building envelope, making them especially effective in high-sun environments.
Commercial solar screens can block 70–90% of solar heat, depending on screen density and orientation.
By stopping heat before it reaches the window:
This makes solar screens especially valuable for west- and south-facing windows.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, windows can account for up to 30% of a building’s heating and cooling energy loss. Solar screens help reduce that loss by:
For many businesses, solar screens deliver measurable reductions in cooling costs during Arizona’s long summer season.
Glare can negatively impact:
Solar screens reduce glare before it enters the space, improving visibility for:
Solar screens block a large percentage of harmful UV rays, helping protect:
This UV protection extends the lifespan of interior materials and reduces fading.
Unlike opaque coverings, commercial solar screens:
This balance is ideal for offices, retail spaces, and hospitality environments where daylight improves experience.

This makes them a low-maintenance, high-ROI solution for property managers and business owners.
