I do not know if you seen my last post on your last video but I will copy it here for you.
I am thinking it may help you on cloudy days.

Troy if you can find mirrors at a thrift store this may help you.

I have seen them at goodwill for 2-3 dollars. And I am talking about the tall skinny ones but I know your panels are not tall and skinny, but you get the idea.

yes, I did see it, but am happy you posted it here. People can get a better overview here than on the comments.

I did have a look at the idea. It would be good for cloudy days. But you would need to set up a solar tracker in order for the panels to move and follow the sun for the best output.

That is something I plan to make one day. For now I am going to make solar panel frames with wheels so I can move the whole array as needed to follow the sun.
