I’ve been hearing about this for years. The fact that it never materialized is a sign that it probably doesn’t make sense economically.

Or because people want windows to let light into their homes? Solar panels make sense on roofs, not windows

Boston’s logan airport has them in the newest terminal. They work, but scatter light in a weird way and heat up the space dramatically. Granted that these are floor to ceiling 2 story windows, might have been hot either way, but can’t have reflective coating with solar.
