Double-sided ‘bifacial’ solar panels could revolutionize our power grid

These bifacial solar panels work best on the ground as they take in sunlight reflected from the surface of the planet.

Bifacial solar panels make the most sense when it comes to harnessing sunlight to produce pollution-free energy.

The average solar panel relies on energy that comes directly from the sun. But today, another kind of solar panel can actually capture that same energy from sunlight that bounces off the ground, taking in power from both sides, as reported by CNET.

Solar manufacturers have revealed that these panels have the capacity to produce an additional 11-23% of energy compared to their monofacial, or single-sided, counterparts.
