I came across a picture of the solar panels used on the milstar spacecraft, 
and iss.

In the milstar picture you can clearly see reflections of light and of the 
guy looking at them. So when the sun hits them, what a very nice reflection 
them must give. I knew they had to reflect alot of light back, this proves 
it to me. Now to look for sunlight refecting off the panels, if the clouds 
would go away. I have only seen one geo sat flare so far.
