Can you actually get MORE than 100% power from a solar panel in the middle of winter? Today we are finally testing the “Snow Albedo Effect” to see if bifacial solar gain is legit or just marketing hype. The results were absolutely shocking—we actually broke the rated wattage of the panels!
In this video, I’m testing a 370W residential bifacial panel and the Callsun 200W bifacial panel (my pick for the best budget panel on Amazon) on a high-reflectivity snow day versus a standard grass setup.
