How Does it Help?

Heat Reduction

Qualifying products block at least 50% of solar heat from entering through your windows.

Comfortable Living

Before You Get Started

  1. Choose which east-, west-, and south-facing windows you’d like to enhance.
  2. Learn more about window films and solar screens on energy.gov. Both offer relief from the sun but differ in appearance and functionality.
  3. Measure windows and gather any necessary tools and materials to prepare windows if opting for self-installation or consult with a professional for assistance.
  4. Need help? OUC has a trusted range of Preferred Contractors we recommend.

Submitting Your Rebate Application

Be prepared to provide us with the following documents:

  1. A copy of the invoice(s) for the purchase of the installed product(s), which must list the type of product and total square footage installed or individual window measurements.
  2. A copy of the manufacturer’s specification sheet.
    • The Shading Coefficient (SC) of film or screen must be 0.5 or less and noted on the invoice. If the Shading Coefficient (SC) is not listed, the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) must be 0.435 or less to qualify (SC = SHGC/0.87).
  3. For self-installation projects, please provide the dimensions of each window where the film was installed for square footage calculations.
