  • Sorry Raccoon I guess my settings were offset. so I made it right now. Good to talk with you anytime friend.
    I tried to reply to your PM, but it says you've chosen not to receive them.

    You are not actually creating any energy when you focus the sun's rays with a lens. All you are doing is focusing the same energy on a smaller area. I supposed you could focus the light on a smaller area of solar panel, but you wouldn't save any area because you'd need the lens, which would take up the same area as just using a solar panel. Also, solar panel efficiency decreases as temperature rises. The intensified beam would heat up the panel too much.

    Have you heard of this type of solar power? Mirrors aim the sun at a central tower, which generates heat. Closest thing to your idea.
