Interesting.

Solar cell technology could soon tap into the massive energy potential
of windows and other transparent objects, new research has shown.

Scientists have been working on transparent solar panels which could be
used as windows in cars or homes at the same time as generating electricity.

Solar windows have been around a long time. The point is how they
face. What directions.

Â* Well , it ain't 'lectrickycity , but I do use solar windows ... my
house faces 30° west of true north , and the southern exposure is over
50% windows . No low-e glass , I want the solar heat gain . In winter ,
that is . I plan an overhead trellis for seasonal vegetation to provide
shade on the deck in summer . Probably muscadines ...
