1. A sunshield to protect an equipment housing from solar heat, the sunshield comprising: a main plate with a plurality of tabs configured to cover a side of the equipment housing; a housing including a heat sink chassis having cooling fins in proximity to the main plate; a back plate attachable to the electronic component, the back plate having two side tabs that are angled perpendicularly from the back plate and formed a gap with the tabs of the main plate to allow an airflow, wherein the back plate and the main plate, when attached to the electronic component, enclose the heat sink chassis and the plurality of tabs fixed to both sides of the heat sink chassis; a vent in the main plate allowing air flow through the main plate to the equipment housing; a shutter rotatable between an open position allowing air flow through the vent, and a closed position blocking air flow through the vent; and a biasing mechanism providing force to bias the shutter in the closed position, wherein the force is overcome by a predetermined level of external flow of air on the shutter to rotate the shutter to the open position; and wherein the biasing mechanism is a torsion spring having a first spring arm attached to the main plate and a second spring arm attached to the shutter.
