Inside Clean Energy: Think Solar Panels Don’t Work in Snow? New Research Says Otherwise

Takeaways:

• Researchers from Western University found that the use of bifacial photovoltaic panels (solar panels that take in sunlight from both sides) can produce more electricity during the winter.
• These double-sided panels can take in substantial amounts of energy from light reflected off of the snowy ground.
• The researchers also found that the snow melted faster on the two-sided panels than on the one-sided ones.
