Of solar panels and variety

Okay so there are a number of solar panels in our beloved 'verse. But, I've always felt that they were a little lacking some "prettiness" factor. Now, I know SPs come in all shapes and sizes and shades of blue and grey. Some are highly reflective (practically mirror like) some are not so reflective. Inspired by Yogui87's solar panels, want to create a compendium of optional graphics for solar panels.

Texturing a 2D image is a cakewalk, for most. I'm learning Blender; so I imagine 3D should be a fairly quick learn. Now, there is new inspiration reflections:

I haven't delved into it yet, but I believe it might be just a little beyond my current skillset. I know there is a Reflection.dll from FASA. Is this a matter of applying another "texture" in blender?

Can any of the fantastic modelers out there assist? I'd like to develope this as my first CommSat mod pack.
