Single pane windows, would shutters be a frugal fix?

To be frank, I'm not sure if replacing the single pane with double pane is: A - something I can afford at the moment and B - something I can DIY (which adds to point A)....

I think shutters (preferably white) would probably help on south and west facing windows. I don’t really see them used much down here; the ones I do see are fake. Highly reflective silver tint (applied on the outside) helps more than dark tint. Window awnings would also help. Large trees are the long-term solution :)
