Solar power from clear windows

A small prototype of a new type of solar coating has been built which can redirect polarized sunlight to a window's edges where solar cells can then collect it to produce electricity. This way the cost for photovoltaic cells can be reduced and windows can be used to produce electricity without affecting the clarity of the windows.
