Estuve ahí y sigo sin creer todavía en lo que he visto anoche

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to work on the very first modern bifacial PV generator analysed in detail and currently connected to the grid (as far as I know). The results can be seen here:

A proper estimation of the rear irradiance is indeed quite difficult, as it depends on several environmental factors. It may correspond to half of the mismatch losses in a PV array, even if these losses are low. At leas the intrinsic losses.

It's still a very complex problem. But in a few hours some politicians here in Spain (i.e. the ones who lobby for nuclear) "seemed to have the right answer".

Coincidentally, earlier today I had a great chat with @richard.wickedproblems.earth and we briefly mentioned that.

This always makes me think about how life in its simplest organisation could emerge everywhere, but it could also easily vanish due to the hostile environment of the universe. It's like planting seeds randomly in any type of soil but only a few crops would evolve. And kill each other.
Just kidding.

As they are usually mounted vertically, they could tend to increase their opacity depending on the site they are in. Particles ~<2 µm follow air/fluid patterns and tend to fix on any surfaces, depending, of course, on their composition, etc.

Demais! Que avanço, considerando a dificuldade que ainda é de se reciclar painéis solares. Valeu a sugestão!

This paper is already a hit here in my house 😁

Therefore, in my opinion, increasing aridification represents a significant obstacle, meaning indeed the last nail in the coffin for the widespread adoption of CPV and CSPV. Conversely, it presents a less significant challenge for traditional PV systems.
Thanks for your comment!

Considering both ongoing technical advancements and their decreasing costs, I don't foresee any other energy source outperforming PV panels in the coming decades. +

Classical PV systems are much easier to manage in this regard, and numerous studies address cleaning intervals and their real-world impacts. Although a comprehensive understanding requires several other factors, PV panels generally perform significantly better than these concentrating technologies.+
