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,
