I'll try the first one... Heat... A solar cell loses efficiency with heat...
The weight/cost of the reflecter is not equal to the solar cell... i.e. it
is cheaper and lighter to just use more cells then to build a reflecter...
>First: Don't you think I be a good idea to have a hyperbolic reflector
>reflect the light onto a solar cell? I mean, I would catch much more light,
>and focus it much brighter.
Timothy...
