Imagine those panels at 70th parallel. Even at midsummer the sun is at 40 degrees. You could get 100% and 24 hours, if those panels were angled towards horizon and on rotating platform. But Nooo, we have to do as law lays. -- Or maybe we can use some old dead panels, they will scratch and break anyway when removing snow and ice

OTH BTW. Solar panels on marine beacons and cellphone towers on Arctic Ocean lay most often flat pointing upwards. No point of trying to catch the sun at all. Scattered light from clouds can be upto 10-20%, better than nothing.
