IMO solution is a 'european tilt and turn' window system with an inner window (tint or shade optional) and a solar panel shutter.

With drive motors and suntrackers for the luxury version.

    Sounds like what you are suggesting is a standalone solar panel mounted on a sun tracking mount above a window? Still, it would be better and cheaper to just lay a solar panel out in the yard and then install a conventional window shutter.
