recently a small satellite dish has passed into my hands - I am thinking of making a small photovoltaic project......I am planning on using the surface area of the dish to reflect onto a small solar panel -
my question is can I use a small and cheap panel for this project?
I am worried if the heat etc will affect it, as far as I am aware a 12V PV is the size it is to be able to capture enough sunlight but since I will be focusing a large area into a smaller one can I expect a higher voltage/amp output then the panel is rated at? is this safe?
Thanks!
