    I don't know how effective this would be but should be inexpensive enough to try. Suppose you get a large white tarp, cut it to size and use it as an anti-solar cover? It should reflect most of the sunlight when its in place. If it works, you could market it! (unless someone already has).

    The problem, as with solar covers, is the need to wrestle them on and off 2x daily. From what I've seen, about 75% of cover purchasers end up parking them in a corner for a year or so, before they give it up, and toss them.

    A thin white poly cover would be harder to handle than a solar cover. A yet more effective silver Mylar cover would be even worse to handle, and all but impossible in even a slight breeze. An aluminized automatic cover might be cool, though.
