Low E Glass windows is the best solution for a glass enclosed lanai (especially if it faces west). The Low e protection comes with an automatic tint thats built into the window and when we enclosed our lanai our contractor offered different degrees of tint.

If you are talking about windows already installed that do not have the Low E feature, tint would be an option. Another option would be to get tinted windows that also have a "shatter protection" feature built into the tint covering. This feature would be good during a hurricane and also as a theft prevention feature.
