(This has some grounds in reallity, so this very well is a post for brain storming). By not violating, i mean no creeping on others in their privatee places. Consider your selves owners of a factory which produces metallic objects which are transparent (properties similar to aluminium) what could be a product which could get you huge profits.

I would also like you to ignore the easiest option to make displays (for phones, laptops etc) which are much more tensile and durable.

    No, the solar panels won’t be transparent, but their top will be metal instead of glass.
    And the whole fuselage won’t be transparent, but you can make transparent sides instead of cutting holes for windows.
    For cars, I guess it depends on the properties of the material and if they can serve as crumple zones.

      sorry i did not want to write transparent, i meant to write flexible (sorry for brain freeze). What i meant was, even if metallic top layer for solar cell be round, the silicon still is usually planar, and growing it curved is e=xtremely hard.

      I had similar answer for fuselage to other reply, but some airlines already have thich polymeric glasses instead of glass, as polymer would not fail critically
