Can dual-glass solar panels increase solar energy production?

Installing dual-glass panels on a reflective surface, like a white rooftop, can increase solar energy production. That’s because nowadays, dual-glass solar modules use bifacial cells throughout, and this power is generated from both sides of the panel instead of just one. The image shows the layers of the Vertex S+ dual glass modules

What is a dual-glass solar panel?

Dual-glass modules have glass sheets on the front and back. Both sheets are of the same thickness. There’s also a neutral layer in the middle that doesn’t face any compressive stress. That allows double-glass solar panels to offer more mechanical protection, which leads to better cell protection and extends their lifetime usage. 2. Extended power
