Solar panel, efficiency, 3d geometryAbstract
Traditional flat solar panels with solar tracking and cooling systems are known to be very inefficient, expensive, and difficult to maintain. Additionally their large footprints make it difficult to install in largely populated areas. This paper examines the advantages of using 3D solar panels in pyramid shapes over the conventional flat panels.
