You could cut one or more square or rectangular portholes in the roof and tape bubblewrap to the outside. Keep the cutout section, tape it back into the porthole along one edge, and poke two holes into the other edge so you can thread through a loop of twine to use as a handle. They you can open or close the window in daytime. At night a couple inexpensive battery powered LED lanterns work well for lighting the inside.
