Solar panels for roofs, balconies, lawns all exist.

But why hasn't solar panel blinds and curtains taken off?

To me it seems really good for people who live in apartments and want to get more juice from the windows.

A solar panel that occasionally blocks a window would be completely useless the other part of the time.

A window permanently blocked by a solar panel is better known as a wall with a solar panel on it.

A vertical wall with a solar panel will not be as effective as one angled towards the sun, such as one on a roof might be.
