Sorry to hear about your heat problem.

I have a west-facing window too. I planted a fig tree in front of it about 5 years ago.

In the winter, the leaves fall off, and sun can come in... in the spring and summer (like now, for instance) the leaves grow out, in preparation for this summer's fig crop, shading my window.

Cheaper than SunTex, and it is fully automatic, too.
