Cellular shades are what you want, though they can get expensive.
I've had them in my last home and have them in order for my new one.
They have an R-value of 5 or so and do a great job of keeping the cold out in the winter and the heat out in the summer.
The blackout option fabrics are lined for the best insulation properties but there are good semi-opaque and opaque options as well.
If you want to be able to open them and maintain some privacy, get ones that go top down.
Shade O Matic make these and they are made in Canada.
Hunter Douglas have smoother operating mechanisms and more fabric color choices, but you'll pay A LOT more.
