If you get acrylic windows you will have more heat in your space. The sun warms the acrylic windows and once they are hot, it is hard to make the space cooler. Even blinds or shades won't make a huge difference. The key is to keep the sun off the acrylic from the get go, maybe an awning. If you get glass windows, your space will still get warm, but shades will make a much bigger difference.
