solar windows that make electricity - are they actually worth it?
Been seeing these solar glass windows popping up in articles lately, and honestly, I'm kinda skeptical. Like, it sounds amazing - windows that let you see outside AND generate electricity - but is this tech actually practical yet? Or is it just another cool-sounding idea that's gonna fade away quietly? Curious if anyone here has looked into this or maybe even tried it out themselves.

I've been following this too, and while the idea sounds great, I can't help but wonder about the efficiency. Regular solar panels already struggle with cloudy days or partial shade - wouldn't transparent windows be even less effective? Seems like a cool concept, but practicality-wise... I'm not convinced yet.
