IMO get soalr shades in black you at least still keep the view I use Steves blinds often thay have good service , decent pricing and and for us we need to see your issues with a picture.

Thank you, Patricia! I'm unable to upload a pic. Let me see if I can attach to this comment....

We bought a plug in electric solar shade for the outside of our west facing patio door earlier this year from blinds.com and are very happy with it. We haven't had it long enough to have an opinion on it's longevity, but so far it'd been great.

Hey. We are offering a lithium-ion rechargeable battery system for roller shades - it is integrated in the roller shades tube and charges as a tablet via plug in cable. Charge time is about 4 hours and run time 6 to 9 months. The roller shade is only 2 inches in depth and could install as inside mount to your door jamb. Check us out at www.fenstermann.com, check our reviews here at Houzz or give us a call at 619.665.9446.

I just installed my remote Roman shades I purchases at blinds.com and I am very pleased. They use rechargeable batteries that you do not need to remove to charge, just plug it in with the cord provided. They last a long time before needing a charge.
