Yes, now we can - there are windows that have channels in them that divert fifty percent of their incident light towards photovoltaic materials in the window frame.

As well there are a dozen other means of Solar Photon capture.

What is the strength of light falling on an area called?

The strength of light falling on an area is called illuminance, and it is measured in lux (lx). Lux is a unit of measurement that represents the amount of light that reaches a surface.

How to calculate light intensity in a given environment?

To calculate light intensity in a given environment, you can use a light meter to measure the illuminance in lux or foot-candles. This device measures the amount of light reaching a surface. The formula to calculate light intensity is: Light Intensity Illuminance x Distance2 Where: Illuminance is the amount of light falling on a surface in lux or foot-candles Distance is the distance between the light source and the surface By using this formula, you can determine the light intensity in a specific environment.
