I don't know how much this product costs, but semi-transparent solar PV modules have been on the market for some time. Advantages are 1. Reliable electricity production for 25+ years, 2. Reduction in material costs (i.e. windows), 3. Almost total elimination of UV ray penetration into the building, 4. Due to low Solar Heat Gain Factor, reduction of air conditioning costs by 40-60%. See info on Photovol, made by Japan's MSK (now owned by Suntech Power Holdings), on page 2 of this link: http://www.matrixenergy.ca//produits/Catalogue/2007/Solar%20Modules.pdf |
