    Ever thought of windows that can actually power up your home? Well, Kyosemi Corporation came up with an innovation that will help push the solar window technology further. The company developed solar cells, tiny and spherical that can be embedded in windows. On doing so, these cells will harvest solar energy. The cells are basically solidified drops of silicon measuring 1.8mm in diameter that are highly transparent and help soak in the sun.


    With a green mindset just like the RSi PV-Glass Window, windows embedded with these solar cells will help harvest solar energy that can be stored and used. Considering the fact that most skyscrapers and office buildings use a whole lot of glass on the exterior, these solar windows will act as huge solar panels.
