Interesting about the colored glass. An opportunity to duct cooling air across the face of the cells?

no probs.
The surface covered in solar reflective paint will reflect more light than an untreated surface, diffuse or not, back into space or on the the panels.
Then there the fact that its reflecting IR light way better and that's what cells use.
So more 'coolth' and more power. A win-win.
