Can ground mounted solar covered in snow make energy? Let's compare bifacial side output to find out

  • Let's experiment, measure a version of snow albedo effect sending more power to the bifacial side of the panel. Testing changes simulating white snow versus the brown earth, dirt covered by the snow and hooked up to a sophisticated energy monitoring system.
    When a ground mounted bifacial solar panel is fixed tilt or tracking, the surface below either absorbs sunlight or reflects it. This depends on Albedo Value.

    As noted in the graphics with copies of MPPT solar output changes powering batteries which electric vehicles use we also see a visual change in reflectivity. The CDR (carbon dioxide removal) aggregates and recycled glass on the trays produced about over 10% more solar-battery output versus the dark asphalt. By reflecting more sunlight and in hot weather, less heat to the solar panel.
    Now let's compare with brown albedo, similar to bare brown soil, wooden mulch, dark/hot pavement using the brown tarp versus what simulates white snow. We have about a 4% increase from the back side (bifacial) solar output which is being stored in a small LFP storage BESS. So yes - even if solar is covered in snow on the topside, especially if it is really sunny, the snow below the bifacial side can reflect a lot of sunlight to power the panel. And as it is generating some power then it heats up the module to slide that snow off the topside onto the ground below.
    Circular Solar CDR is a project for upcycling landfilled, recycled wastes to simulate snow albedo effect. CircularSolar.net
