Cutting polycarbonate sheeting?

Anyone know the best way of cutting the large triple walled Polycarbonate
sheets? I am thinking of making a lean too shade greenhouse using this to
help with heat loss in winter. Roof is easy as I have made the base so its
whole sheets in each direction but sides will obviously have some funny
shapes and I need to check how easy it is to work with.
When I made the roof of our little greenhouse out of twin wall I used a
jigsaw with the correct blade for such stuff, quite easy actually. Just make
sure you mark the plastic and keep a firm hand of the saw making sure it's
flat against the sheet at all times.
You will need to tidy up (carefully) with a file or sandpaper afterwards.
The thought was much worse than the deed.
