Would it be possible to build a Solar Panel Etalon? Since, on average, 1/3 of all sunlight that hits a solar panel is reflected, wouldn't it be possible to set up some kind of etalon system where the reflected light is then absorbed by another solar panel, and then the reflected light from that panel is further absorbed by the first panel, and so forth? 
So basically, the amount of sunlight present in the etalon would decrease by 2/3 each time it hits one of the two panels.
Is this feasible and practical?
 A: Boden & Bagnall (pdf) looked at this question of reflection, in their paper Bio-Mimetic Subwavelength Surfaces for Near-Zero Reflection Sunrise to Sunset.
Their estimate of the proportion of photons reflected, from sunrise to sunset, in a fixed PV system is 20%, rather than your estimate of one-third.
The proposed etalon is not an efficient or effective means of capturing the energy in reflected photons.
However, there are not-dissimilar ideas being researched at the moment, including a lot of work in plasmonics.
Boden & Bagnall propose a moth-eye style coating. Their simulations predict an increase of 12% in energy output, compared to single-layer anti-reflective coatings:

However, PV panels are now largely a commodity product that compete on price (except for some specialist applications, e.g. satellites) - so it's generally cheaper to buy more panels, than to pay for fancy coatings on fewer panels.
A: The trouble with an etalon is getting the light into it in the first place. Bearing in mind we want normal inidence to maximise the light intensity our solar panel looks something like:

But solar panels aren't transparent (obviously since they reflect two thirds of the incident light) so if you wanted to use a second panel you'd need something like:

It's true you've nearly doubled the absorption, from 33% to 56%, but you could have just put the two panels side by side and doubled the absorption. Plus you need the light to come in at an angle and that reduces the intensity and therefore the electricity generated.
It would be nice if you could get the light to bounce repeatedly between the same two panels:

But you wouldn't be able to get the light into the gap between them.
