Is the sunlight 30% as intense under the
bimini? No, more like 10-15%. Is there even 10% in the underside?
More likely, the only place bifacial
panels are really going to shine are vertical and other installations where direct sun can hit both sides. Or very reflective surfaces focusing light in that direction, which sounds like exactly what I would never want in the
cockpit.
You probably will see a 30% increase with new bifacial
panels, but at least half of that is because the old panels are old.
