I’ll be honest, I know absolutely nothing about the science or the tech itself. It just seems like it would help by reflecting the light back at the panel (like trapping it I guess), instead of just bouncing off once. I’m just curious and this seemed like a good place to ask about it

The inefficiencies in solar panels isn’t predominantly from reflection. Mostly it’s either photons arriving that aren’t strong enough to dislodge electrons from the substrate (might energy that you can’t do anything with) or electrons that get recaptured before joining the circuit the panel has powering
