  • Hope this video gave you some information for your build. Bi-facial solar panels are great but may not always be the best choice for what you are doing. The mono panel from Canadian Solar is an excellent choice and I’ll leave a list of a couple popular Bi-facials below. #solar #bifacialsolarpanel #offgrid #RV

    I am a huge fan of the newer black panel designs with 9BB and half cut cells. I love how they are two panels in one as well which really helps with partial shading. I have four Esolar 410w panels, and three Talesun 400w bi-facials. Im getting around 2200 watts from them consistently. Fun stuff! Thanks for the comparison, Johnny. I always love simple comparisons.

      The new panels really are so much better than the older modules of just a couple years ago.
      I definitely wanna get some others to test.
      And thanks. I like simple tests sometimes. 👍🏼😀

    Would love to see if they are mounted on a gazebo or something that places them up off the ground… that is what I figured they would get the best performance from .. but I have no data to back it up …

    Cool video Johnny! I was surprised that there was basically no difference in output, very good tests.

    • @johnnysweekends
      @johnnysweekends  28 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yea minimal over 4 hours. But times that by a few days or a few weeks then the spread would be bigger. But with bi facials on the ground you’re not gaining anything.

    Interesting video. Not really in the market for solar panels right now but might upgrade my RV lead acid batteries to LifePo4 before the tariffs kick in. Thanks!

    Try the same test in full overcast might be interesting results. My vertical bi facial is 12" off the ground 465w panels record was 569w with snow and sun. 98% of the time 105w in full overcast.

    • @johnnysweekends
      @johnnysweekends  27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yea with snow and even broken clouds for cloud effect you can pull some really big numbers! I did my first test in an over cast day against the wall and the bifacial was just ahead like in the video. But the Canadian 395 are no joke and perform really well..!!

    Bi-Facial modules are much heavier due to glass also on their backside, which makes them a bad choice for RVs. Mono crystaline panels are still the way to go for most usecases.

    • @johnnysweekends
      @johnnysweekends  18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yea they can be, these are about 5 lbs heavier.

  • @vinnyareid
    @vinnyareid 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Not a fair comparison. The bifacial is not maximizing it's full potential because the wall is half white and half brown behind the panels. Plus bifacial are not designed to work on the ground. Off the ground to catch reflections 😔

    Any deals on purchasing few than 10 panels?

    • @johnnysweekends
      @johnnysweekends  27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Unless you close to me then IDK…lol
      Normally the more you buy the better the deal but most people want 4-10. So hard to get the really good deals unless buying a couple pallets or more.
      But they normally have the best deals right now.

    "Are Bi-Facial Solar Panels Really Better For YOU??"
    In a word, no...
    I just built a dual axis tracking system with bi-facial panels, and it really doesn't yield any additional significant results...
    Going with quality(Renogy, Rich Solar, etc) single face panels will yield better and more consistent results...
    Panels are panels until they're not...

    • @johnnysweekends
      @johnnysweekends  25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      These Canadian solar panels are so good, such a great panel 👍🏼
      But it’s more a commercial type so deals are better when bought in bulk. Of course that’s anything

  • @mindbender50
    @mindbender50 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

    crappy example read on how their to be mounted and how high up they need to be for the bi-facials to work properly ... you might as well tape the back of the bi-facials up for all your test has done for them..
