Basically
You place a large mass in front of L1 (which could be an asteroid or manufactured from dust launched from the moon), fix magic nanotube tethers to that, then hang a large sail-like shield structure from it that sits behind L1. The gravitational and solar forces should then even out, so the anchor pulls sunward and the shield pulls Earthward and the whole thing stays perfectly in place for ever and ever.
It's that last point I have most trouble with. The entire megastructure would need active station-keeping just by virtue of being at L1, either mechanical control of the tethers so the shield acts as a propulsive sail, or some kind of ion-propellant-based reaction control/orbital manoeuvring system. If you choose the latter, then why not just use that as the basis of the design and do without the anchor (and the magic nanotube tethers)?
I wish they'd get a move on, I'm seriously too warm.
