How can solar panels be optimized to work more efficiently behind glass?

Can solar panels work behind tinted glass?

If you use them indoors behind tinted glass, like a tinted car window, it will affect their efficiency. But, even with some sunlight, they can still function. The tint on the window blocks only half of the sunlight, allowing the other half to pass through and reach the panel, powering it. 2. Can Solar Panels Work Through Plastic?
