Would a rotating ring (halo) help regulate the habitability of a tidal locked planet?

I'm working on a sci-fi/fantasy story that involves a future earth that has become tidal locked with the sun. Part of the story has an advanced civilization that has built a ring (halo) that circles the planet and provided an artificial night cycle for the sun facing part of the planet. As far-fetched as it is, how habitable would the planet be if a night cycle were reintroduced artificially? I know strong storms would form based on the flow of extreme cold air/hot air, but would it be fairly similar to our current climate?
Thanks!
