SolarWindows Generate Energy for Own Buildings

New Energy has been producing solar cells in transparent SolarWindows that can generate electricity from fluorescent lighting in offices and commercial buildings. When tested, the tiny solar cells produced twice the power of mono crystalline silicon, 8 times more than copper-indium-selenide and 10 times more than thin amorphous-silicon. The research has a ways to go as they figure the first applications would be in solar calculators, MP3 players, etc.
