What if we could design a solar cell that could shift from transparent to opaque on demand? Instead of putting up blinds, simply move a slider or tap a button or what have you, and suddenly the amount of light coming in is dimmed, and the energy being captured is increased. Seems like a win-win to me, if it were possible.

Solar-panel covered shuttering could do that.
