Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi,

I am doing a science fair project for my school and I would be grateful if you could help me out. My research question is:

What effect does magnification of light (via magnifying glass) have on the efficiency of a solar panel when insulated by double-paned argon/krypton infused glass?

The point of the project is to increase the efficiency of solar panels greatly by magnifying the light that reached the panel without having the panel get overheated, which causes damage to the panel.

If you are interested in being interviewed, please answer the following questions:

1. When did you first learn about this topic?

2. Could you please tell me what motivated you to study the topic?

3. What are the most important things you have learned about this topic?

4. Why do you think this topic is important useful and interesting?

5. What practical applications have you found for this topic?

***If you have any comments about this project and it's possible outcome, please feel free to say anything about it, as this project is completely "raw" and was made up from only my mind ***

Thank you very much for letting me interview you, I am very thankful for your help

****THIS INTERVIEW IS DUE IN THREE DAYS, SO AN URGENT REPLY IS NEEDED!!!! THX ****

Hello bgswms,

You may not receive an answer to your request for an interview because Science Buddies does not have experts in every detailed area of science and technology. Interview requests are given replies only when one of our experts feels qualified to answer. Please review the information on interviews here: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... =25&t=5681

Although our Experts are available to help with science projects, you may find that you do not receive a reply to interview questions at Ask an Expert. Following the guidelines at the linked page (above) may help you better frame your questions in a way that will be answered. But you may also want to look for a local Expert to interview to meet the due date of your assignment.

Your questions could be answered interestingly only by an expert in solar cell design.

Good luck, WW
