- Chris2048 6y agoIsn't that somewhat tech-specific? Couldn't you make solar panels that reflected more light back?
- ses1984 6y agoThe point of a solar panel is to absorb light and turn it into electricity, so no, not really.
- Chris2048 6y agoAccording to the linked article: only a fraction (around 15%) of that incoming energy gets converted to electricity So a solar panel design that reflected more of that 85% back would still produce energy.
