I cant hardly wait till I can build a fence with panels I have no buildings or fences to deal with summer I would start getting direct light at like 6 am and my fist part would see so much sun all day like 150ft of fence 150 degree heading sse to nnw :)
Question about the sponsor, is the version 2 thermal camera not available in US yet!?
Great test. Would not mind seeing a video with one panel correctly pointing at the sun and tracking it. Curious to see the output of one as I am in the process of buying some. Have not decided on bi-facial as we get frequent hail storms throughout the year and don't know how well they would with stand one seeing that they are fragile. Great video by the way.
Nice! They are definitely cooler that way
Good real. World. Home. Technically 👍👍👍
I can see this working better in winter.
You would not have to clean the snow off.
I had read somewhere, that SE/SW and 80 degrees vertical, works at least around 32 latitude or so.
Lots of good info but may have liked more details on the peek temp of the solar panel during the full sun and what the max temp reached were. Wonder if any added reflection of a white tarp or other surface may have added to the overall heat on the panels.
I have always thought an array with 3 panels arranged 45 degrees apart with the middle panel facing south would be the most productive so the outside panels could face in or out I think in would capture more because of reflection.
How about a vertically mounted bifacial panel that rotates on the vertical axis to follow the sun? And what about a mirror mounted behind it, at various distances? I feel like these would perform best with a cylindrical shape, half mirror half solar panel, having a conical deformation applied to the mirror half to let in light from the sky dome. (cylinder with circle bottom and elipse top)
Excellent work on the test
