Depends on the size of your magnet

is there a ratio that defines the magnet size to PV energy and surface area? What about PV glass about the size of an iPod with neo magnetic strips along the sides of its non solar side? would that effect the PV energy put off by that glass?
 
it would have to be a very B I G magnet to have anay significant effect,
otherwise I would not worry the effect will likely be small
 
Everything is already bathed in a gentle magnetic field (from the earth) with little detriment ,minimal effects - based on skin effect in conductors fighting with the hall effect.

I am not clear on what your question is directed at. Are you asking whether a magnet/magnetic field could be used to focus light on a solar cell/panel/array?

Or are you asking about how a magnet/magnetic field might be used to influence the generation and flow of electrons in a photovoltaic cell - the building block of a panel - and thereby increase how much of the incident sunlight is converted into electrical energy?

I wouldn't worry about it, it was 2012 when he asked.

Does feel like one of those --Has anyone tried .---.. Patent speculations.
Electro-magnetics become "Electro-Magics" !
