Yes, but full sun is not required for glare. You'll see alot of reflection of the pavement on the glass on any day. The shade structure helps somewhat. And given the mist and spray there, I wonder whether the view really works much of the time?
But of course, this was never about seeing tigers

I see how glare could be a problem; but viewing the tiger is still possible, because you should be able to see within a few hundred feet even with fog.

Note: That's a remarkably clean image of the plexiglass sheet that's gone up around all of the cat grottoes. It doesn't look like that today. The rather harsh marine climate has caused some oxidization around the edges of the glass in addition to the collection of graffiti etched into the panels. In short, it doesn't provide the greatest viewing opportunities.
Also, are we calling the metal overhang a "shade structure"? Those aren't panels running along the top, they're essentially metal strips (I believe) intended to discourage visitors from climbing into the enclosure. At any rate, they're ugly as sin and should be removed posthaste.
