This concave mirror is made from expanded polystyrene and this reflective film at a cost of 25 cents per square meter, and it is several hundred times cheape...
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.
