Default Looking for condo window covering ideas

My apartment gets blisteringly hot in the summer. My windows face west, and it can routinely get to 95F inside according to my thermometer. I don't have central air, and while I have a portable air conditioner it isn't effective enough.

I saw these Coolaroo shade things at Costco. Apparently you install them on the outside, but I don't know how good they are. I also don't know if I can really instal anything major on the outside due to living in a condo.

Anyone have suggestions on window coverings of some sort, or just general ideas on keeping a place somewhat cool?
