Slightly unrelated, but I used to imagine houses whose rooves were made of solar panels. I eventually thought of battery walls to store the extra power for when no sun, but that’s a tad silly, innit? Can’t build a house of battery walls. Prolly can’t make it solar panel roofed either, other than perhaps covering the entire non-panel roof with panels. I wonder if such would work, and how expensive it’d be. In fact, I wonder how expensive solar panels are, and how difficult to work with they are.
I also had this idea for a phone case whose back was a solar panel. Leave your phone facing down, and get some sun charge (if sun). The case could have a plug near or instead of the hole for the charger. Not sure if such would work either.
I’d also enjoy having just a, idk, an extension, with many a sockets, just connected to a solar panel outside the window or something. Me computer just powered by the sun. Maybe roller shades made out of solar panels? Too sunny? Close the shades, get some charge. Again, not sure this would work. But it would be cool.
If anyone understands enough and has the knowledge needed, please rate my ideas and let me know why these obviously wouldn’t work (surely, such great ideas have probably been already thought of and discarded. No way I could have a good, original idea)

Solar shingles are a thing now
Holy based, Batman. It seems we’ve missed an opportunity to patent the idea. If only I had come up with it before 2005. Though I was but a wee feller
