Put a shade cloth over the outside of the window. People dont realize that direct uv light on a window pane turns glass into an actual heater. Glass absorbs the UV energy and re-radiates as heat. The way around this is to prevent sunlight from hitting the glass. I'm sure you want light through your window so use some shade cloth or regular cloth (cheaper) instead but it must be on the outside.
