[–] deliux@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 3 years ago* (1 child) This is nothing new, bifacial solar panels are on the market for well over a year now... e.g. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2020/06/08/jolywood-unveils-black-bifacial-module/ Cheap and readily available... permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PeachMan@lemmy.one 20 points 3 years ago Read past the (admittedly misleading) headline. This article is about double-sided perovskite solar panels, which is apparently just a better material, and maybe it benefits more from the double-sided structure? Not sure of the specifics, but they're saying efficiency can reach 30%, which is a lot higher than your example. permalink fedilink source parent
