Yikes that’s a doozie - not sure an air gap is applicable. I guess a foil blanket layer would reflect heat back out. If you get moisture condensing on these in the winter you wouldn’t want to trap that. Realistically changing the whole unit for thermally broken double/triple glazed should be the thing - modern glass shouldn’t get that hot. The dark colour doesn’t help. What about just a perforated timber guard across in the window reveal - bit like a rad cover ? Doesn’t help with solar gain but would stop burning kids.

Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
Tinted glass panels, which get stupidly and dangerously hot when it’s sunny or summer.
At my parents house, and they are concerned that my toddler could burn himself on the glass. Also the room gets roasting hot because of it too.
Anything wrong with insulation of some sort, some thin batons and insulated plasterboard on top?
Should I leave an air gap or is it ok to put insulation right up to the glass?
It does get very hot, so some concerns of any health concerns with heated insulation.
