Should I still be pyramid stacking solar panels? (Spaced Out)

A solar panel is limited to 380W max; which occurs when there''s a total of 245000 lux hitting it (or, 35000 lux on each of the 7 tiles). If you have more lux hitting the solar panel then the light is wasted. In this case there''s no reason to have any pyramid stacking at all (a solar panel only has 7 tiles which is always less than 24.5). As

Radiative cooling of commercial silicon solar cells using a pyramid

One of the major issues for flat photovoltaic (PV) panels is that as more energy is produced, the PV panel temperature increases and the conversion efficiency (CE) reduces. The commercial PV panel mostly has CE at around 20%, which means the majority of absorbed solar power is dissipated into heat and eventually increases the cell temperature.

Novel Shapes for Solar Panels
