Curtains/Window covers that can block summer heat while still having some light in the room? (hexbear.net)

I recently got a small university apartment but it has no AC and I'm told it gets hot during summer. There are some large floor-to-ceiling windows where heat can come in and I can't place anything outside like an awning.

What are the best coverings to use to reduce heat? Is there a way that doesn't completely darken the room?

I have these and they work great. They also help keep heat in during winter.
