Please test with tin foil.
Try some a liquid acrylic to try and repair it
In researching for a completely closed greenhouse, white vinyl is a percent or two off of perfect for light reflectivity
OK, how many panels would you need on an average day to recharge a cybertruck?
Mirror or GTFO!!!
I kid, I kid! I have always been curious about exactly this, especially with snow. Not that in Aus we see any, but for places with clear skies and snow, I can see it being a big deal in winter.
nature uses white and black stripes
I think it would be cool to take apart that broken panel and make a custom sized panel👍
As far as I remembrer this panel is done to be put strait right, not 27 ich °, but 90°
Here in Europe, they install mounted directly to struts on the roof, which means the panels are only a few inches above a clay tile (or slate in some cases).
Some installers say they will still gain from the rear surface, whereas others say there is minimal scope for reflection under those circumstances, so it's not worth paying for bi-facial.
Be nice to see what you measure with such a close fit and poor reflective surface?
One of the main suppliers local to me in the UK pushes Rea or JA Solar bi-facials. Trouble is you'd never know what's really true unless you try both ways….
adveragglie’ ffaraggilie’ cant hear glass breaking👎
cool video. I think it would have been interesting to just turn the broken panel so the shattered part was facing down….
Would you mind testing 80 degrees vertical SE/SW facing bifacial vs your 29 to 30 degree nromal south facing? Not sure if you can test the daily full production of 2 at a time. I have one of them eg4 mini splits to install, and I was going to use 4 or 6 of the 400 watt bifacial aptos panels on it, but I was thinking facing half SE, and half SW, and somewhere I read 80 degrees vertical is superior to 90 degrees, and or 30 degrees south with the bifacials. Thank you for all these videos.
You probably need to test with both a white tarp and a black tarp to compare.
Painful to watch. For bifacial panels, why wouldn't you have a reflective surface ( foil or aluminum, full sun – not shade ) behind (not under ) so that the sun reflects to the bottom of the panel?
Why is wHiTe UNDER THE SHADE OF THE PANEL the best reflective surface for bifacial? Use ur imagination guys.
I wouldn't try to repair the smashed panel. I would like to know if cells from the panel could be salvaged, for other uses (to be determined).
Most people aren’t installing their panel over a driveway, so yea, this doesn’t compare what most people would do. Maybe cover a few sheets of plywood with shingles to have a “normal” and then paint those shingles (or have duplicate plywood set) that you paint with one of the white elastomeric sealants from APOC or AMES.
Maybe try Reflective Roll Insulation. Easier to lay out than foil.
Next test reverse panel
Get board and test upright with snow on the ground.
If it was my only solar panel and being that it’s bifacial I’d just flip it upside down and run it til the wheels fell off. Prolly have to drill a small drain hole in the framing for rain to escape.
I think the tarp is good at representing snow. Foil wouldn't be representing much, unless you're emulating a tin roof.
1:54… That why I pre-drill holes for the screws on the ends of lumber..😉
4:53… Is it just me or does the panel look like it's covered in dust ?
7:44.. Was that an Air Biscuit ?…🤣 8:38… Another one ? Did you have beans for breakfast..😂
Pannel needs a clean too, dusty as. hehehe
I think I would have gone a bit further and face the panel away from the sun and angle it so there was no shading on the tarp.
Angle the tarp too…
Test the other side of the shattered panel?
raise to at least 3 ft above the ground and yes try to fix the panel
Broken panel would be good charge source for 12v system
Thanks Joe 👍
Great test to see whether its worth re painting your roof white.
Mylar sheets
Yeah……SOLAR BLANKET good idea !
Flip the broken panel good side up, or bottom side up
Should have tested grass vs white tarp. Also, some sort of angled white pieces to reflect more of the light on to the back. Some sort of oil based varnish/poly so that it seeps into the pores of the shattered glass may reduce the diffusion and increase the output.
should have flipped the shattered panel over, with the intact back facing the sun
Would love to see bifacial test with grass versus white tarp vs a large mirror
Do you think the dust/dirt made much difference?
