If you live in the Phoenix area, you already know how intense the sun can be. Rooms with direct sunlight can heat up quickly, especially during the afternoon. That is one reason many homeowners look into solar screens for their windows.
So, how much do solar screens cost in Phoenix?
At All Pro Shade Concepts, solar screens cost $8 per square foot installed. This price applies to both 80% and 90% solar screens and includes new frames, removal of old frames, and professional installation. There is a $500 minimum project charge.

Average Cost of Solar Screens in Phoenix
Solar screen pricing is usually based on the total square footage of the windows being covered. Larger windows require more screen material and larger frames, so they cost more than smaller windows.
At All Pro Shade Concepts, the installed price is $8 per square foot, with a $500 minimum.
Here are a few simple examples:
| Total Solar Screen Area | Estimated Cost at $8/Sq. Ft. Installed |
|---|---|
| 50 sq. ft. | $500 minimum |
| 75 sq. ft. | $600 |
| 100 sq. ft. | $800 |
| 150 sq. ft. | $1,200 |
| 200 sq. ft. | $1,600 |
| 250 sq. ft. | $2,000 |
| 300 sq. ft. | $2,400 |
These numbers are helpful for general planning, but every home is different. The final price depends on the exact measurements of your windows and the total square footage of the project.
What Is Included in the $8 Per Square Foot Price?
One of the most important things to know when comparing solar screen prices is whether the price includes installation.
Some companies may quote a material-only price, then add installation, frames, removal, or other charges later. At All Pro Shade Concepts, the $8 per square foot price includes professional installation.
The price includes:
Custom solar screen measurements
Solar screen mesh
New screen frames
Professional installation
Second-story window installation at no extra charge
Removal of old frames
Proper fitting for each window
This makes the pricing simple and easier to understand. You are not comparing a material-only price against a fully installed price.

How Solar Screen Pricing Is Calculated
Solar screen pricing is based on the size of each window. The basic formula is:
Window width x window height = square footage
Then:
Total square footage x $8 = estimated installed price
For example, if one window is 4 feet wide and 5 feet tall, that window is 20 square feet.
20 sq. ft. x $8 = $160 installed
If you have several windows, the square footage of each window is added together to calculate the total project price.
There is also a $500 minimum project charge, so smaller projects may not be priced strictly by square footage.
Example Solar Screen Cost by Window Size
Here are a few common examples to help you estimate the cost of individual windows:
| Example Window Size | Square Feet | Estimated Installed Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 3 ft. x 4 ft. | 12 sq. ft. | $96 |
| 4 ft. x 5 ft. | 20 sq. ft. | $160 |
| 5 ft. x 6 ft. | 30 sq. ft. | $240 |
| 6 ft. x 6 ft. | 36 sq. ft. | $288 |
These are only examples. Actual pricing should be based on exact measurements taken at your home.
If your total project is less than $500 based on square footage, the $500 minimum would apply.
Why Some Solar Screen Projects Cost More Than Others
Solar screen pricing is simple, but the total cost can still vary from home to home. The main reason is that every house has different window sizes, layouts, and needs.
Number of Windows
A home with more windows usually has a higher total cost because there is more square footage to cover.
However, the number of windows is not the only factor. A house with fewer large windows may cost more than a house with several smaller windows.
Window Size
Large living room windows, bedroom windows, and wide glass areas can increase the total square footage.
Since solar screens are priced by square foot, window size matters more than window count.
Total Square Footage
The biggest cost factor is the total square footage of all the solar screens being installed.
For example, a project with 250 square feet of solar screens would cost more than a project with 100 square feet because it requires more material, more frame, and more installation time.
80% vs. 90% Solar Screen Options
All Pro Shade Concepts charges the same installed price for both 80% and 90% solar screens.
Both options are priced at $8 per square foot installed, with a $500 minimum project charge.
The main difference is not the price. It is the performance and appearance.
A 90% solar screen blocks more sunlight and provides more daytime privacy. An 80% solar screen allows slightly more visibility and natural light.
The right choice depends on the window, the room, the direction of the sun, and your personal preference.
Custom Measurements
Solar screens need to fit properly. A screen that is too loose, too tight, or not measured correctly will not look or perform the way it should.
Professional measuring helps make sure each solar screen is built for the correct window size.
Does It Cost Extra for Second-Story Windows?
No. All Pro Shade Concepts does not charge extra for second-story solar screen installation.
This is helpful for Phoenix homeowners with two-story homes who want solar screens installed on upstairs bedrooms, lofts, or west-facing windows.
The installed price remains $8 per square foot, whether the window is on the first floor or second floor.
Are New Frames Included?
Yes. New frames are included in the $8 per square foot installed price.
All Pro Shade Concepts also removes the old frames as part of the project. This means you do not need to remove, haul away, or dispose of the old frames yourself.
Your solar screens are custom measured, built with new frames, and professionally installed for a clean fit.
Are Solar Screens Worth the Cost in Phoenix?
For many Phoenix-area homeowners, solar screens are worth the investment because they help solve a real problem: harsh direct sunlight.
Solar screens can help:
Reduce direct sunlight through windows
Make hot rooms more comfortable
Reduce glare
Add daytime privacy
Protect furniture, flooring, and blinds from harsh sun exposure
Improve the outside look of the home
Help with west- and south-facing windows that get heavy sun
Solar screens are especially useful in Arizona because the sun is a major comfort issue for much of the year. Many homeowners install them on the hottest windows first, then add more screens later if needed.
Which Windows Should You Install Solar Screens On First?
If you do not want to install solar screens on every window right away, start with the windows that get the most direct sun.
Good places to start include:
West-facing windows
South-facing windows
Large living room windows
Bedrooms that get hot in the afternoon
Windows near TVs or computer screens
Rooms where blinds stay closed most of the day
Upstairs rooms that feel warmer than the rest of the house
West-facing windows are often one of the best places to start because they take on strong afternoon sun. Bedrooms, offices, and living spaces can also benefit if glare and heat are a constant issue.

Can Solar Screens Qualify for Rebates?
Some Phoenix-area homeowners may qualify for utility rebates when installing qualifying solar shade screens.
Rebate rules can change, so homeowners should check the current SRP or utility program requirements before starting their project.
All Pro Shade Concepts can help you understand whether solar screens may be a good fit for your home, but rebate eligibility should always be confirmed with your utility provider.
