What i got from the article is a panel can get 20% more energy this way. So a 500 watt panel could harvest 600 watts. 500 from the front and 100 fromthe back.

    Doesn't it say that the front is 23% efficient, while the back is 20% efficient? So it harvests 90% of the power of the front side.
    That makes them harvest almost double the energy, no?
