Simple tricks to boost your little power station [Video]

In a world increasingly aware of the need for renewable energy, small tweaks to our home energy solutions can make a big difference. An amateur showed how the efficiency of a balcony solar panel system can be dramatically increased using bifacial technology and some clever tricks.

Bifacial solar panels differ from traditional panels in their ability to capture sunlight from both sides of the panel. This technique allows you to benefit not only from the light falling directly on the main face of the panel, but also from the light reflected on the back. These solar cells are inserted between two layers of a transparent material, usually glass, and make the most of the available light environment.

1. Soil cleaning method

A simple change like scattering clear stones under the panels can increase soil reflectivity, improving panel efficiency by 3%. By doing this, the creator was able to increase the power output of his …
