A solar shield apparatus for an automobile windshield includes a housing having a bottom wall and plurality of side walls that define an interior area. The housing is removably coupled to a mounting base via mounting brackets such that the housing is selectively released from the mounting base when the mounting base is coupled to a cabin ceiling of the automobile adjacent the windshield. A solar shield panel having a flexible and tinted construction is movable by a spool in the housing between retracted and deployed configurations. A guide channel extending downwardly from the housing along a side of the windshield guides the solar shield panel when being deployed or retracted. The solar shield panel may be motorized via actuation buttons or moved manually. A mechanical retraction assembly may be coupled to the spool to enable spring-actuated means for retracting the shield panel.
