It Seems that solar shingles Elon musk inspired other developers decided to go further and develop . So, the UAE has created a glass panel can collect the sun's energy across its surface.

That is not a simple glass, solar battery, visible only if you come very close, and even then not always, so the developers tipped their novelty has a great future, especially as some companies have already started to use coloured glass in their production.

Rafic Hanbali, the representative of the company Kromatix, said that the collection efficiency of energy depended on a number of factors, including transparency of the Windows, but the developers were able to find the perfect balance between aesthetics and efficiency. Now one final panel with their glass only costs about $ 90-100 per square meter.

Hanbali said that if the company will sell a sufficient number of panels of photovoltaic glass, very soon the product price will fall again. However, the high price tag scare not everyone. Fans of Tesla, for example, happy to overpay for a beautiful design of solar panels, developed in conjunction with SolarCity.
