You know that with the reflection of Clouds you get some nice increases in the Solar Rays, I was wondering for those that have an Array on the ground if you spray a mist of water infront of the Array, can you get that same affect???

Edge-Of-Cloud is basically a random mirror, that some portions of sun light get redirected. So light that might fall 1-2 miles away gets redirected towards your array and this is in addition to the direct sun and why there is a brief period of additional irradiance ( clouds move ).

So, if you want to replicate near your array, use mirrors, but keep in mind your panels are not warranted for more than 1 sun operation
