I love the brief time period where "new and innovative" seems "insane and crackpot".
From EarthTechling:
We've seen New Energy Technologies announce a series of advances in its attempt to turn windows into solar panels, and now the company says it has a working, 1-square-foot see-through glass prototype that can generate electricity. An earlier version of this solar window was just 4 inches by 4 inches, and New Energy says the boost in size takes it a big step closer to bringing a product to market.
"We continue to pursue an aggressive product development program, working to improve, among other things, solar cell efficiency, power output, durability, manufacturability and further scale-up," says company president and CEO John Conklin.

New Energy's process involves "spraying" electricity-generating, nano-sized solar cells directly onto glass, "eliminating expensive and often cumbersome or high-vacuum production methods typically used by current solar manufacturers," it says.
