In summer we would leave all windows open for circulation because we do not want to AC that space and it would just be a screened room. Do you think that it would be unbearably hot in the summer with the sun on the glass even though the windows were open for circulation? What about insulation above the lanai? Thanks.

An unshaded SW glassed lanai will get pretty hot in the summer. You might want to go through a season before making a decision. Insulation would be more of a factor in the winter and probably wouldn't make that much of a difference.
