[QUOTE="MODAT7, post: 240445, member: 13649"] It's the other half of environmentalists really wanting to control everything instead of saving the planet. I played around with cardboard and foil as reflectors for a little gain. The problem comes around with heat (at least in Texas). The hotter the panel gets, the less electricity it produces, even though its brighter. I've looked into making my own panels for regular use, but I'd need an array the size of my house plus entire yard just to power my home network. Solar thermal converted directly to electricity might be interesting where I live, but it is still cost prohibitive, even with some recent advancements. Edit: And I also wonder (in agreement) why a piece of glass with a thin silver backing is the same price or more expensive to produce than monocrystaline silicone grown in a multi-million dollar chip furnace.
