My panels, the most recent are at least 12 or more years old, likely in the 15% efficiency range. I got to look over some of these new bi facial panels that appear to be the new hot thing. The first thing I noticed was the size, something like twice or more bigger, maybe 2.5 times the size but to my surprise not heavier than my old ones, very thin aluminum frame and the glass must be thinner. They claim something like 20% efficiency from these. I am impressed, greater wattage for materials used. I just adjusted the settings on my Mppt controllers taking roughly 3000 watts off line until next oct. don't need the power from them, I just use my panels with the pwm controllers now, wind turbine now has the phase wires shorted until next winter. No point letting it wear the bearings when I don't need any power from it.
