The problem is when solar cells get hot they become less efficient.
Lens for solar panels.

As long as you can secure a solar filter in front of your lens you are good to go.
Fix that cloudy plastic covering the solar cells by coating it with a thin layer of clear nail polish or a spray on clear lacquer.
The solar concentrator fresnel lenses are designed with the plano side to face the sun parallel light source and the fresnel surface to face photovoltaic cells focus.
Fresnel lens based photovoltaic generators will be the best for meeting peak energy demand during the day while the storage capacity of thermal solar plants can help to address concerns about dramatic fluctuations in production at night or due to low sun days.
And 3s is triple the sunlight.

Restoring plastic solar cells like new.
People who own solar often inquire how or if panel production can somehow be increased or maximized.
A bridge camera is a great camera to start photographing the sun.
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.
Cover the areas surrounding the plastic either the housing for the cells or the lid of a light with a built in solar panel with painter s tape before applying the chosen clear coat material.
Yes that would work to double or triple the light hitting the cell by using either magnifying lenses or reflective mirrors.
The lens does build heat on the solar panel.
This was not allowing th.
Solar concentrator fresnel lenses were originally developed for concentrating photovoltaic cpv application.
If you double the sunlight hitting the cell this is called two suns.
These clear coatings render the plastic clear once again.
This spring i decided instead of replacing the old solar yard lights and try restoring the plastic cells do to oxidation.
Are there ways to increase the amount of energy drawn from solar panels.
One reader came up with this idea.
The nikon coolpix p900 2000mm and p1000 3000mm with their massive zoom lenses can capture great solar and moon images.
