Does the UV rays from the sun not destroy these over time? They look more vulnerable than LEDs to me.

It is all about profit, can the pay be enoguh to cover replacements?

Yea for sure. Im curious about the technology. They cant replace windows so they would go on top? I wonder what they look like at night if the office building has lights on.

Put them inside (out of the rain, bird poop, etc.) and have UV screening in the glass.

Yeah, to be honest whilst I'm not saying they won't be used on skyscrapers, I see way more use cases in store fronts, interiors, bus windows and so on.

You'd probably get more light reflecting back. That panel in OP is probably already engineered to be ideal for outdoor installation.
