Abstract
A unique solar shield and a solar-ray shielding method are disclosed. The solar shield of the present invention is divided essentially into two parts—a wrapping member and a mounting plate. The wrapping member wraps around an electronic device. The mounting plate holds the wrapping member around the electronic device. The electronic device is fixedly attached to the mounting plate using known fasteners such as bolts. The solar shield shields the electronic device from solar rays and prevents unwanted heat absorption due to the solar rays.
