      What if my neighbors are ants?

      (I’ve never actually used a magnifying glass on ants and I don’t plan to start, it’s just the trope)

    Regarding solar electricity: does that mean to mirror the sunlight to a solar panel? If so: ignoring, that one would constantly need to adapt the mirror’s position, I think I also read somewhere that solar panels decrease efficiency with heat. So my question is: could one increase solar panel output by bundling light or would heat related inefficiency cancel that out?

      I think if the mirrors are used to boost the solar panel during times of the day/year when the sun angle is not optimal, it shouldn’t be an issue.
