What would a trinary, ‘bifacial’ solar PV panel cost using this technology? Just sayin’, a typical solar PV panel now is around 330 watts in a typical 68″ by 40″ solar PV panel, could be boosted to 530 watts for the same sized panel. In a typical roof array of around 400 square feet, one could get a maximum output of 11.13kWp from this array and even the PTC rating would be 8.9kWp in low light conditions. A change of from STC output of 371 watts for a 21% panel to 530 watts for the tandem panel. CubicPV will the the one to watch.
