Rooflight/Skylight Integrated With Photovoltaic Glass

Hi there, I'm on a years work experience as part of my Industrial Design course at a company that designs and manufactures bespoke rooflights in the UK. We are currently looking at providing a rooflight with photovoltaic glass which would promote a greener product. I wondered if anyone could link me to any contacts who manufacture photovoltaic glass [I know of Romag, UK] and supply it on a small scale so i could carry out some testing or any other useful contacts in the field of photovoltaics? Cheers, Martyn.

I'm told this is due to thermal stresses and the only way to prevent this occuring is to use toughened glass. If anyone knows alot about this subject I would be interested to find out more.
