Sun and Pianos

Having finally purchased a new piano (I decided on a Yamaha C-3) I now
confront the problem that it is placed in front of a large window that gets
direct morning sun (The only available space in the house). Worse, the
window currently has no curtains or shades.  I know sun is bad for pianos,
so I'm keeping it covered with a sheet during the morning hours.

I heard about a product which can block 99% of the sun's UV rays. Has
anyone had experience with this? If so, would it be sufficient to protect
the piano? I'd appreciate hearing (privately or on the list) about
experiences members have had servicing pianos that are exposed to sun and
ways to protect them as well. Thank you.
