Solar Light Panels

Irene Said:

The Effects of Focused Light on Solar Panels?

We Answered:

Yes, there's a limit because they get hotter as you focus more light. They should have a spec sheet that says how hot they can be, so that will help you to know how much light you can focus.

Also, you don't want a parabolic dish. This focuses light to a point. You want a parabolic trough that focuses the light down to a strip.
