If I may make a comment or two.

You may, and thanks to you and everyone.

First, the best solution to heat coming in the window from the sun is
low-e glass.

Films do work, but not nearly as well. They also have two drawbacks.
Even if properly installed they may have problems pealing off, cracking and
may be difficult to remove. They also have been known to crack some windows
due to the heat stress on the windows.

I didn't think to say that these windows are all 12" by 9" panes, I
think it is. Together they are big, but no single one is. Could there
be enough heat stress to crack a window?

I am not saying not to use them, but be sure to recognize the potential
problems. There are times they are the only economically feasible solution.
At the worst they may convince you to replace what you have with low-e after
if the existing windows are damaged. :-)
