Mick,
Silicon Energy (www.silicon-energy.com, Arlington, WA) sells PV
modules with a glass back sheet that are see through. They are
heavier and pricey, but have a unique module design and mounting system.

Hi, Mechanics~
I like the Sanyo bifacial PV modules for several reasons but I
guess the biggest reason (for me) is the way they transmit light
between the cells...due to the clear backer sheet. This seems dandy
for carports, picnic shelters, etc.
The $/watt for the Sanyo bifacials affects the payback math,
however, so:
Does anyone build non-exotic polycrystal (or non-exotic single
crystal) modules with a clear backer sheet so part of the sunlight
will come through? Reply to me off list or on-list.
Thanks,
