We met him, he signed a contract, and we installed a system soon after. The stuff of happily ever after. But then, a customer from our past came calling. Not with a complaint, but a claim. We listened. [...]
Would a Magnifying Glass On Solar Panels Generate More Energy?
Are there ways to increase the amount of energy drawn from solar panels? People who own solar often inquire how or if panel production can somehow be increased or maximized. One reader came up with this idea: “Could you put some type of magnifying glass and set it at the right distance to increase the heat of the sun and give you more energy production from the solar panels?” Possibly this subscriber had done a bit of reading on the mathematic & military genius of one Archimedes of Syracuse. While this is an interesting concept and not categorically implausible, we [...]
