Abstract: A solar stack system includes a plurality of solar panels, a light concentrating mechanism, and a plurality of light guides or light diffusers. These materials are arranged such that the light concentrating mechanism feeds concentrated light into the light guide or light diffuser which is in between two or more solar panels depending on the length of the light guide. The light that enters the edge or smaller surface of the light guide will be emitted out of the face or larger surface of the light guide and illuminate the solar panels on either side. This design is modular, and several such arrangements can be stacked on top of each other or as deep as the light will travel along the light guide.

Abstract: A variety of solar panels, light guides (or similar mediums) and light concentrators are configured to increase the power generated by the solar panels. In general embodiments of this system include at least one light guide between at least two solar panels with some light concentrator concentrating the light into the light guide held in some housing.
