<Reflections>
My original plan at first was to compare spherical, plane and parabolic reflectors but I had difficulties getting plane and spherical reflectors for my experiment so I had to modify my plans. However, by comparing parabolic reflectors with different curvature, I also got to find out how specific elements greatly affect the light absorbance of solar cells and was easy to implement other elements into the experiment as well. Moreover, I wasn’t sure how I could set up the experiment to test the effect of Fresnel lenses but eventually, I decided to use two parabolic reflectors for the light rays to pass through the lenses. Overall, this project not only allowed me to gain deeper knowledge in maximizing efficiency of solar energy but also trace future development of solar energy.
