The title is a little deceptive. This is not a power operated window but a south facing window where you can obtain energy from the sun. The Anker 14 watt folding solar panel set fits nicely in the upper part of my window. I needed a small platform to hold the small devices while they are charged by the solar panels. Lucky for me, I found the "Shelf Master" corner shelf which is perfect for this setup. The shelf literally installs in seconds and claims to be able to hold ten pounds. For this shelf to work, your corner walls must be 90 degrees perpendicular or the shelf blades won't secure properly. Together with a multiport USB hub, the 14w panels provide just the right amount of power needed to charge my USB devices.
