Regarding solar electricity: does that mean to mirror the sunlight to a solar panel? If so: ignoring, that one would constantly need to adapt the mirror's position, I think I also read somewhere that solar panels decrease efficiency with heat. So my question is: could one increase solar panel output by bundling light or would heat related inefficiency cancel that out?

I think if the mirrors are used to boost the solar panel during times of the day/year when the sun angle is not optimal, it shouldn't be an issue.

... just make sure you don't light the grass or your neighbor's house on fire

What if my neighbors are ants?

(I've never actually used a magnifying glass on ants and I don't plan to start, it's just the trope)
