lots of people leave the bubble wrap (put in for winter insulation) in place all year as it diffuses the light and stops scorch............. but I don't know if it will lower temps though

I have my ghouse bubble wrap lined, roof and walls. It diffuses the light well , no scorching and keep the temperature up at night.It needs securing well as the doors and window are open in hot weather.
Well worth doing.

If you have grooves in the centre of your aluminium glazing bars you can buy clips with washers to fit the bubblewrap . In the wall corners a bamboo cane will hold it to the glass. In some places self tapping screws and washers are needed.
