New Canadian bilateral solar panels

Solar panels work when they are focused on the sun. Everyone knows it. But in some parts of the earth, two-sided solar panel - exactly what you need to maximize the energy of the sun. The Canadian company Silfab Solar saw the potential in bilateral solar panels, which can be reflected from the snow to catch the sun's surface, according to the website Inhabitat.com. The company announced that it intends to start offering new bilateral solar modules by the end of 2015.

Most solar cells are solar panels on only one side. This makes sense when solar panels are attached to the roof, as being oriented to the sun, they capture as much energy as possible, turning it into electricity that we can use. For areas where the ground acts as a reflective surface - such as snow or desert sand - lots of sunlight reflected back from the earth and the light will be lost when using a conventional solar panel. Silfab sided solar module is designed specifically for such situations, which could allow people to receive almost twice as much energy using the same amount of photovoltaic modules. The company calls it the BiSoN, and it describes as "two-faced monocrystalline cell with very high efficiency».

In a recent interview with PV Magazine, head of business development, sales and marketing Silfab Jeffrey Atkins (Geoffrey Atkins) said that the company is building up its forces in preparation for the launch of a new product exponentially. A small company recently hired 30 workers - mainly for the factory floor and is expected to open 50 more jobs in 2016 and at the factory, and administrative roles. New vacancies open at its plant outside of Toronto, will be largely to support the production of new bilateral panels.

Offtopic: By the way, the Krasnodar company "Solar Wind" bilateral solar modules produced long before they invented Silfab Solar. But it's worth noting that Krasnodar modules did not look as elegant as frameless Canadian, having a thickness of only 7 mm.
