Bifacials unlock solar in cloudy areas. Been researching and testing this for ages now. On avg, tested on a mini grid up to the second changes with victron BT equipment. About 25% of rated, so ex from a 445w about 110-150w, ground mounted, less on the rooftop. Bifacials are the best. Heavier but if thats a shipping and labor cost best the payback is just a few months, so worth it.
I wonder if you put mirrors behind the bi facial panel how many watts it would produce. I just ordered some 440 watt bifacials and im super excited. Bifacials are great for ground mount, which is what im going to do. It'll be interesting this winter when there's snow on the ground on a cold clear high pressure day
Question. I’m mounting a bi-facial panel and want a background panel made from corrugated steel. Should I go with a galvanized panel or w white panel? Which will give me the best reflection producing the most wattage?
The bifacial has to be lifted so that the Sun and reflected Sun can get to the backside. If you put it flat on a roof it's the same as mono. The best position for a bifacial is 90°
Very interesting. I know ow we've talked about this but in my experience, flat panels Perform better in overcast. I'm wondering if this applies to thr bifacials as well. BF flat versus angled BF vs flat mono.
You mean that 0 angle is better than guessing where the sun actually is on overcast days? That would go along with solar trackers pointing at a white wall instead of the sun on cloudy days. Ha ha
Have you tested flat with BF because if you put a bifacial flat it doesn't get any light or reflected light to the backside it defeats the purpose of it being bifacial. If you're saying you've tested a bifacial flat and it does better than lifted I'd be interested in seeing the proof. All testing has shown that bifacial should be 90 degrees to catch all available light.
Just $245 each. And they are new! Just fell off a truck and got stuck in a yard for the better part of a year while Insurance figured everything out apparently.
I had to watch this 3 times as I didn't understand or know bifacial was a thing, thanks for teaching me something new

Thanks for making this I've been going back and forth on doing a 200 watt or a 220 bi on my suv. I'll take 2%

Nice, that was fast! When someone is struggling for power that extra bit will be helpful.
It only costs 50% more for 1-5% increased efficiency. xD
the bifacialsi purchased was the cheapest per watt panels 150$ for a 505w@@1987FX16
Jinko N type monofacial and bifacial performance in hot sunny weather?
Very nice 😊

Will Bificial panels also perform well if we use them on L2 structure
Good info.
Brah thats almost double!
I’m curious do the monofacial panels stay cooler withe white back?
I purchased 4 biyfacial 550watt solar panel per panel voc 50
Sir jinko watt kindly mention
Interesting
Save money and get more panels if you got the room?
How would the bificial perform on a regular gable roof (like 30-35 degrees) where it has a distance of just like 10cm to the roof?

@@BeeneEnergy 🤣😂
I've tested it multiple times. Flat beats angled every overcast day.
@@AskIveSolar Which distance to the ground? Is that usable by any means for gable roofs?

Can't we just over size with mono...instead of going bifacial?
the thing with bifacial is land. You can produce more power with lesser land needed. Land is scarce.
I live in Alabama, How are the pricing on shipping?
Seeing $350 to Birmingham, and that includes lift gate to a residence.

How much are they
Just $245 each. And they are new! Just fell off a truck and got stuck in a yard for the better part of a year while Insurance figured everything out apparently.
which brand
They are Jinko panels. I’ve got more info in the link inside the description.
Himo 6 or
longi bifacial which is better
