Crystal arrangement results in more power from ferroelectric solar cells

Here we are, trying to improve solar cells to avoid global warming, and dissidents like you want to add a sun to the solar system.

It's not the solar system's fault that the inhabitants of one of the bodies in the system are bad stewards.

Also, if you have 30% effeciency from the light of one sun, wouldn't the additional light also improve the solar cell since there is now more light to get 30% out of? I mean, more is always better, right?

I know your comment is in jest, but in point of fact the additional heat from another star would almost certainly reduce the efficiency of the panels.

Can you explain why?

It'd be twice (>1<2) the energy
