I want to encompass pv technology in all aspects of building design. However, at the moment its just a litle to expensive

Eco-scientists needs to work on the next generation of skylight: One that would let visible light through, but harness the suns harmful energy to generate solar power at the same time. This translucent panel would look vaguely smoked perhaps but actually be storing the filtered out light for use at night. Imagine all those skylights worldwide turned into solar panels, but still letting usable light through during the day, and without having to look at the undersides of solar cells. And imagine that they track the sun all day long to maximize solar exposure. THis will not be easy, but do-able, and definitely should receive some thought. The best solution would be an economical retrofit of existing skylights, but I am only dreaming…

The black squares are all solar panels that are embedded with glass panels. This way, when the sun shines through, electricity is generated while still allowing some sunlight to pass through (the areas that are not covered by the solar cells).

It is a fully integrated approach to solar power while still retaining some ability to allow sunlight in.
