I'm looking at expanding my pre-existing solar array.
I've been looking at BiHiKu CS3W-450MB-AG panels as I can get them for relatively cheap. $275
Other panels that have caught my eye are the S-Energy SN310M-10T alternative datasheet $225
Having looked at the panels the biggest difference I noticed are the "real world" test results for each panel.
The BihiKu's lose about 25% efficiency with no mention of the bi-facial tests while the S-Energy panels only lose 7.5% efficiency when comparing optimal to real world.
The price/watt goes to the BiHiKu if I can get about ~10% boost from the rear panels.
I'm planning on using apsytem's qs1 micro-inverters to allow me to sync up with the pre-existing setup
So the big question is does anybody have experience with these panels and what their actual efficiencies might be?
