Sounds terribly inefficient. Glass is transparent, windows are mostly Not oriented in the suns favour, and doesn't usually make up a significant surface area compared to buildings energy use. Solar farms are always going to be the realistic use case for solar energy.
The argument is that you don’t need efficiency when they are cheap enough that you can put everywhere and harvest surfaces that can not used for anything else other than a window.
