Tint is cheap and requires little to no maintenance. I can't see how awnings would cost less. That said, awnings are probably more efficient.

The problem with window tint is that it's 'on' all the time.

A well designed awning lets in more light in winter, giving you solar gain when you want it, but provides extra shade in summer.
