This is a conceptual paper aimed at harnessing the electromagnetic properties of glass as a good source of power. The magnetic field produced by the atoms in the glass is analyzed using optical rectification. The focus point is found by dividing the glass material into a number of matrix segments. The focus point refers to the point on the glass which has the maximum solar light incident on it. The solar light is made to fall on a device called pyranometer [3] that is used to analyze the solar irradiance for a period of time before allowing it to fall on the material. The above process takes place when the maximum power point tracking algorithm based instrument is attached to the glass [4] . The intensity and distance relationship is calculated using inverse square law concept. The major challenge is that the solar light must be focused on the glass with an intensity of 1 MWatt/m 2 . The focusing object must be 500mm away from the glass. Sun is the source of light and is located at a distance of 149,600,000km. The intensity it provides is 2.585438 micro watt/m 2 which is very low compared to the intensity required, hence UV light is focused on the glass [7] .
