It is hard to imagine making solar power from potato chip bags; even so, it must be in a small scale- if it is not scalable, then, chances are that they are not viable.
You are better off getting a step-by-step DIY guide to make solar panels: see

You would be better off making a solar tracking mechanism for the one you have. Quite simple with a few LDR’s and a bit of pipe, then reset when it goes dark.

i believe you can. i have heard of this interesting guy who used pop can bottles to make his own solar panels…which would be the same concept (or similar) to building one using potato chip bags. Ive added the website below.
Good luck on your invention!

What you saw was a Solar Oven with reflectors made from the shiny inside of a big potato chip bag.
Yes, It can be done. There are some things to do exactly right, but, people do it all the time after they understand it.
I did it, made mine from aluminum foil and cardboard.
The neighbors were all laughing at me till I fed them dinner from it.
