First Flexible Bifacial Module Tested
In order to increase the energy yield from a noise barrier, we can make use of albedo. A large portion of the sunlight is, depending on their albedo, reflected by buildings, plants, roads and forests. By developing double sided solar cells, we can harvest extra energy from this diffuse light. And last Friday, we tested the first double sided thin-film module that we made in the project ...
