Why not mount the double sided vertical panels edge towards the sun with a mirror panel on each side? Add some passive cooling channels between the panels, or even boost it with a small fan. I would think that might result in even better gains instead of having one side wirh full sun and the other eith indirect sun.

The same source (Dave) has a video from a year ago on vertical panels with horizontal panels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD1MT-ek05w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD1MT-ek05w

Solar panels are cheap. A single mirror that size likely will cost more than the panel itself.

  Why would it be? All you need is an aluminum PVD or plated piece of plastic with a protective coating. Should be pretty cheap.

  Coroplast and aluminized boPET should be a perfectly adequate mirror.
