What i got from the article is a panel can get 20% more energy this way. So a 500 watt panel could harvest 600 watts. 500 from the front and 100 fromthe back.
Doesn’t it say that the front is 23% efficient, while the back is 20% efficient? So it harvests 90% of the power of the front side.
That makes them harvest almost double the energy, no?
But the back side of the panel gets much less light because it is getting it indirectly. If there were a sun hitting both sides then you would be correct
