Placing something inside your windows to capture extra heat will have no effect. The amount of energy entering the room via a window is fixed, that energy is absorbed by all areas in the room subject to the light falling on it. Placing anything behind the window does not magically increase the amount of energy from the sun entering your room.

If you want to keep the heat in the room then double glazing the window will have the most benefit.
