you go google under concentrated solar energy. The silicon cell is much smaller and very high performance! very hot! and generating electricity. we may achieve close to 100% efficency that way.
Why dont you experiment with concentrated focus with four or more reflectors of same dimensions ? The trick is not to position your PV facing to the sun. Just do the opposite. This way you can concentrate as many as dozens times over.. See what happens.. It will be hot and it will force it to generate more current.. There is already special PVs designed for concentrated sunlight. It can do 40% efficiency or better. Just try it and see how far you can go before you start melting it..

that is a cool idea
how would you calculate the performance increase?
