Was researching passive solar technologies and came across a company in California that has created a pretty cool piece of hardware. The invention is called "Power Glass" and is basically a technology that uses a very thin layer of the same material that is used on PV cells which is coated to windows so that the windows themselves collect energy. The film is also so thin that it is see through not disturbing the amount of light entering a building. I believe the technology is closely related to hard drive manufacturers that (if you have seen the internals of a hard drive) use small thin pieces of film that hold data.
