I have a photo taken when the sun lined up with two attic windows on a certain house. Use it to illustrate how much lower their electric bill would be if they’d turn out that bright attic light!

Yep – happens here, too – and it’s a fairly wide street, so it actually affects driving westward, in particular, over 3 – 4 days, in the late afternoons of October.
