XsunX has developed very thin translucent coatings and films that create large area monolithic solar cell structures. This semi-transparency makes their so-called Power Glass glazing desirable for placing over glass, plastics, and other see-through structures.
And if it isn't too hard [and why should it be?] to tie them into the domestic power grid it would be a way of reducing leccy bills. In fact, when you think about it, it doesn't have to be only over glass that they go: why not doors or walls? If they are nearly transparent then there are lots of places they could go and be pumping helpful amounts of electricity into your home. The mass production of this stuff sounds easy enough, so I'm hoping this will turn into mass-solar power ...
