From the Forum: Blocking the Summer Sun and Heat From a Stairwell Skylight

A stairwell skylight provides valuable light but in the summer it also brings heat. Homeowners are looking for some suggestions on how to cut down on their air conditioning expenses by blocking some of that sunshine. The area above is already well insulated so what window coverings or other methods have worked for homeowners?

Please chime in with your advice.
