    So then off reflections? That doesn’t sound very efficient or worth the additional cost if I can just face another solar panel at the sun.

      Bifacial panels have been in use for several years in utility-scale solar installations because its cheap enough to do that the modest additional electricity generated is worthwhile.

      Unless you plan on putting up some books and comics for voles and grasshoppers on the backside of those panels, that space is really useless.

      Do not underestimate the importance of land use, it’s always been very important and it will be very important in this century.
