I don't have a solar lens, but our warm water collector does make a large part of our heating and warm water. (but we only installed one panel, although there is room for two.)
Efficient enough without a lens.

Sure thing a large solar lens can generate way more heat in a specific point, however what is the point of getting such a great heat? Sometimes there is just no point in it. I also use a warm collector actually, and I am more than pleased with it, and it is actually as efficient as a big solar lens, moreover, it is even cheaper than such a great lens. The only problem I had with it, it caused a power outage, and I had to call for https://bates-electric.com/ so they would fix it, as I am kind of afraid to work with electricity.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

yeah, that's a freaking huge lens. Better to just make your black collector larger, until you get to the part where it needs to be hotter, then use a mirror to increase the amount of sun on the end part. mirrors cheaper than lenses.
