I read online years ago about a way to make solar panels more efficient. they used white cardboard strips on both sides and angled to reflect the sun. This would not be possible with vertical walls.
Side and floor reflection is a LOT better than no relfection at all. Your tests were incomplete because you never added what most people have which is side and floor reflection. Try it and you'll see what I mean. Goodluck with your theory though. It would be great if it did in fact made a difference.
