Tunable photonic harvesting for solar energy conversion and dynamic shading tolerance

A system comprising:

• a solar photovoltaic module;
• a sensor device operative to determine one or more of multiple portions of the solar photovoltaic module that are underperforming in relation to one or more separate portions of the solar photovoltaic module;
• a plurality of configurable reflective surfaces comprising one or more reflective surfaces of a first type, one or more reflective surfaces of a second type, and one or more reflective lenses, wherein:
• one or more reflective surfaces of the first type are physically connected to at least a portion of the solar photovoltaic module at a given angle in relation to the surface of the solar photovoltaic module;
• the one or more reflective surfaces of the second type are physically connected to at least a portion of the one or more reflective surfaces of the first type;
• the one or more reflective lenses are physically connected to at least a portion of the one or more reflective surfaces of the second type via one or more items of rectangular transparent glass;
• and
• each respective one of the plurality of configurable reflective surfaces is configurable based on a determination of the one or more underperforming portions of the solar photovoltaic module to (i) collect direct solar radiation and diffuse solar radiation and (ii) distribute the collected direct solar radiation and the collected diffuse solar radiation across the multiple portions of the solar photovoltaic module in a targeted manner to offset the one or more underperforming portions of the solar photovoltaic module by a given amount;
• and
• a heat transfer mechanism coupled to the solar photovoltaic module and operative to reduce the temperature of the solar photovoltaic module.
