This is basically the opposite of common sense. The solar panels are black to absorb as much light as possible. Why would they possibly waste time in their design reflecting any light back up to the sky? There's no reflection. I have solar panels on my shop up North. They work great. I have them mounted on a steel roof and the excess heat goes down not up as I can hear the roof expanding from the heat on a sunny day.
