I've made panels on rings that close when I need them to, but push out of the way when I want the light. You can also get pretty sheets or buy inexpensive panels. You just clip them on the rings. https://www.exquisitelyunremarkable.com/2020/10/how-to-make-ring-clip-curtain-panels.html

We had the same problem with our patio doors. To solve it we went to Walmart and found light weight insulated drapes. The layer of insulation blocked the sunlight and heat exchange going on from the windows. When we had to patio doors installed, we were told they had a good "R" value when it came to energy efficiency, it was not as what we were lead to believe.

You could make the draperies very easily, a visit to Joanne's of a fabric store of your choice would be a source. Be sure to purchase a black out liner along with your fabric.
