		vzaliva 73 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Vertical Solar Panels Are Out Standing bifacial panels indeed produce more electricity. but does it justify the cost increase? simply speaking if bifacial panels cost 2x, do they produce anything close to 2x electricity?

The rule of thumb is that bifacial increases production by 35% for a 10% cost increase. YMMV.

Looked like a lowest 6% boost in the winter, but more in the summer. Likely makes sense as panel prices decrease.
