PV Gap

Barbara Said:

How hot might the focal point of solar energy be, using a parabolic mirror to collect and concentrate.?

We Answered:

Depending on your latitude, the amount of energy reaching the earth's surface is so many KW/ square meter.( I forgot the exact numbers)
Consequently, the larger the mirror, the larger the amount of energy captured.
But the real reason I answered this question is to sound the Alarm!!
CAUTION, EXTREME DANGER.!!!!!!!!!
Even a relatively small mirror can generate very high temperatures. If by accident or otherwise you look at a mirror aimed at the sun blindness can easily result.!! This is nothing to fool around with.
