  1. In North Idaho, we built southern-facing with the back of the house in the hillside for thermal stability. In the spring and fall, with the lower azimuth angle, we've used solar gain to reduce heating needs. We use wood in a boiler for radiant floor heat. In the summer, the sun doesn't enter the windows because of the large eaves and the higher azimuth angle that time of year. We bought a couch and are now concerned about fade. So, we're opposite from most. We use that solar gain twice a year, so reducing it would increase our heating needs which we'd rather not do. There are 6 large fixed low-e fixed glass windows, with 6 smaller operable awning windows below them. There are a couple of similar fixed windows that turn a corner on the sides. We rarely watch TV during the day, but that could change and we would prefer reduced glare, but I think that comes a cost of visible light. We have a panoramic view of mountains, a future pond, gardens, etc. Third consideration is we heard that ceramic is best for preserving what little cell signal we have. It's a struggle to get even one bar sometimes. Any recommendations would be appreciated. So far I'm looking at: Llumar Air 80 or Ceramic 65 SR PS (Neutral) Panorama ULR 70, PureVue™ Ceramic 60, Panorama CX 60 From what I hear, some of those Panorama are the same, just under different names. In my area we also have a Johnson dealer, but I don't think there's a similar product in the line I could find. I'm open to other ideas as well. Thanks!
