2. Space sunshade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_sunshade

   A sunshade could potentially be one climate engineering method for mitigating global warming through solar radiation management, because internationally negotiated reductions in carbon emissions may be insufficient to stem climate change. [5] [6] Sunshades could also be used to produce space solar power, acting as solar power satellites ...

3. Solar cell fabric - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell_fabric

   Solar cell fabric is a fabric with embedded photovoltaic cells which generate electricity when exposed to light. Traditional silicon based solar cells are expensive to manufacture, rigid and fragile. Although less efficient, thin-film cells and organic polymer based cells can be produced quickly and cheaply.

4. Awning - Wikipedia

   Shade screens utilize acrylic canvas or a mesh fabric, which allows some view-through while blocking the sun's rays. The roller at the top may be hand-cranked or motorized. [5] The fabric is gravity-fed, with a weighted bottom rail pulling the fabric down between guide rails [broken anchor] or guy wires.

5. Window screen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_screen

   An 18×14 mesh has become standard; 16×16 was formerly common and other common sizes are 18×18 and 20×20. For comparison, a typical screen in a clothes dryer has a nylon 23x23 mesh screen. Fiberglass solar screens provide over 75% of UV protection, by using thicker strands and a closer mesh than regular 18x14 fiberglass window screening ...

6. Sun protective clothing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_protective_clothing

   UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) represents the ratio of sunburn-causing UV without and with the protection of the fabric, similar to SPF (sun protection factor) ratings for sunscreen. While standard summer fabrics have UPF ~6, sun protective clothing typically has UPF ~30, which means that only 1 out of ~30 units of UV will pass through (~3%).
