Terrible idea, we have plenty of space to put traditional panels in the proper orientation to the sun, who needs a transparent 90° badly positioned expensive window, that will barely charge your phone.

At least innovation is happening in the space.
I would imagine that that transparent panels would be more applicable to the likes of skyscrapers where the surface area of the skin of the building (usually made of glass) and their height might give enough power generation to potentially make the buildings carbon neutral or even maybe even create a surplus.
Places where there isn’t an excess of land to build huge solar farms could stand to benefit in this regard, like Singapore or Hong Kong.
