Comment on Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition'

  My interpretation of your comment was that bifacial solar panels are a useless gimmick which allows companies to charge more for a cheaper product.

  Is that correct?

    No, the opposite. They are superior. Bifacial panels have a 3% additional yield over standard panels. The +10-20% cost premium is covered by the +30% revenue

    Even with traditional mountings, Bifacial panels pick up extra light reflected from the ground.
