Solar Energy & Efficiency

Using solar window film is a cost-effective way to reduce energy costs

A sustainable way to make your building more energy-efficient!

Panorama solar control window films can reject up to 77% of the sun’s solar energy. This not only helps reduce your energy consumption but also makes your entire building more comfortable. By controlling the solar heat gain and mitigating any UV rays, you help balance your building. This means that you will have even temperatures throughout your building.

Implementing sun control window films doesn’t just help to control temperature, it also causes a number of added benefits.

Solar Window Film: Benefits of energy efficiency

No more hot spots for the building occupants means a happier workforce. Plus, since you’ve controlled the solar heat gain, you’ve reduced the cooling load for your HVAC equipment. Allowing your HVAC equipment to not work as hard – resulting in both less energy consumption and having your expensive HVAC equipment run better in the long term.

Solar Window Film: Cost benefits

Because our solar window films manage the transmission of UV radiation, infrared, and any visible light from the sun, you will save on heating and cooling costs. Many buildings lack energy-efficient and renewable heating and cooling systems. Our window films are a simple way to practice energy conservation all while saving money.

Fade Protection

A common problem within many homes or businesses is furniture fading. No one wants to deal with replacing a perfectly good piece of furniture simply because the sun caused it to fade.

UV light, solar heat, and visible light all contribute to the fading of fabric. Our solar window films help to block out these harmful rays, mitigating any unwanted fading.

With all of the computers, printers, copiers, and other office equipment being used in today’s office environment, there is plenty of heat being generated. While you can’t do much about the heat this equipment produces, with Solar films you can control the heat from the sun!

We are Oregon’s most trusted and respected provider of premium window tinting for commercial and residential properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does solar window film make a building more energy-efficient?
Solar films reduce the amount of heat and UV rays that pass through your windows, helping your HVAC system maintain consistent indoor temperatures. By rejecting up to 77% of the sun’s solar energy, these films lower cooling costs and reduce energy waste without sacrificing natural light.

Will solar window film make my building darker?
Not necessarily. Modern solar films like Panorama are designed to control heat and glare while allowing visible light to pass through. You’ll still enjoy bright, natural light — just without the excessive heat and eye strain.

Can solar window film help protect office furniture and equipment?
Yes. UV rays and heat can fade fabrics, flooring, and artwork over time. Solar films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, keeping furnishings, electronics, and décor looking newer for longer.

How long will solar window film last?
ADD CONTENTWith professional installation, most high-quality solar films last 10–20 years or longer. They’re backed by strong manufacturer warranties and Pacific Window Tinting’s satisfaction guarantee for lasting performance and energy savings.

Does solar film help in the winter too?
Yes. While its biggest benefits come during the summer, solar control film also helps retain indoor warmth during cooler months by adding insulation to your windows — helping your HVAC system work more efficiently year-round.

We used Pacific Window tinting for both a tint and a security film on two buildings. They came out and had us a quote very quickly and when we were ready to move forward they got us scheduled very quickly. The team that came out was wonderful to work with. They were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Overall we are very happy with our experience and will use them again if needed. I highly recommend them.

For over a year we had been deciding what to do with some of our upper level windows. We get a strong sunset that can be blinding for about half of the year. We reached out to Jared and his team at Pacific Window Tinting, he provided us with several samples and assessed our need as well as our budget, he made a couple of recommendations to meet our needs. He delivered an excellent product, in a short period of time at great prices while ensuring excellent customer service. We are finally able to enjoy the beautiful sunshine while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the architecture. Highly recommended.

Our waiting room at our clinic was much hotter than the rest of our clinic so we consulted with the owner, he gave some great suggestions and in a week or so we had the front windows and doors tinted, took a few hours, now it is much cooler! My front desk staff does not feel hot nor do patients in my waiting room. Thank you!
