Im curious because I read about a boy who invented a 3d solar panel, using a pyramid he designed a solar panel that collects light more efficiently. Now I have a question. Why cant I design a solar panel that takes adventage of convex and concave mirror's and use a surface that collects light and then focus's the suns energy into a beam and take the beam into a chamber where the solar panels are sitting and surround them with mirrors as well, so any light not obsorbed by one particular spot is reflected to another area for reabsorbtion. I know solar panels dont absorb light but perhaps that will allow more light to create the effects it needs.
I don't know anything about the 3D thing. You cannot get more energy out, than goes in. Energy will only hit the mirrors. With some loss of efficiency they would reflect a focused beam into the chamber, where with some more losses would reflect it to the solar panels. It would be more efficient just to expose all the panels to sunlight.
