Abstract: A solar panel system is assembled into a three-dimensional volume with the solar cell(s) positioned on an inward facing surface to collect sunlight and reflect sunlight from different angles as the sun passes overhead. Embodiments may be mounted into the interior of a building with a top end of the module being positioned on or proximate a roof surface and disposed to collect sunlight into the module interior below the roof line. Some embodiments may be pyramidal shaped. Outdoor mounting of the solar panel module includes embodiments that may be held in a frame and rail mounted system.

Abstract: A solar panel module provides increased efficiency in solar production within a volume of area within a space's square footage. In general, embodiments arrange solar panels into polygonal shaped containers. The containers include inward facing solar cell faces that project orthogonally from a common base. The solar cell faces reflect sunlight captured within the module's volume and reflect it from one incident solar cell face onto one or more other inward facing surfaces of the plurality of panels joined together to form the polygonally shaped module. Thus, solar energy which is typically reflected off when incident upon a conventional solar panel is recaptured by adjacent panels in the module.

Abstract: A solar panel module that provides increased efficiency solar production within a volume of a two-dimensional space's square footage. The module may include at least two solar panels within the same volume of space. A light guide directs ambient light onto at least a second of the two solar panels. Embodiments may include two or more solar panels lying parallel to one another so that light is guided to photocells of at least one obstructed panel. Other embodiments may include polygonal arrangements so that a plurality of solar panels have light guided to them within the same frame's volume.
