That's the whole idea is to curb electricity usage to nights. And besides, windows aren't always the solution. Don't be such a smarta--, dude.

Does it absorb the light it's been exposed to that day, like solar powered products and glow afterwards regardless of what time of day it is or does it only absorb and reflect current light?

Just because it's old does not mean it's an obsolete idea.
