QCell Bifacial or not???

[TJOPT]

Hey y’all … hoping to get some advice. I am looking at QCell 400W (Q Peak Duo BLK ML-G10+ vs the same model number but with T-400 at the end) panels with either a solid back or a transparent back. This is a bifacial but seems to be different type of bifacial that an all glass panel. I am looking for advice as to which to choose.

Thank you in advance!!!

What’s the cost difference between panels or between cost per watt for the two?

Cost is the same between the panels … I realize that it seems like “a no brainer” to go with the bifacial. I am just making sure I am not overlooking the obvious.

You’re over analyzing-if anything bifacials are better in most aspects including physical durability with a glass backsheet instead of a white plastic one, at equal cost any additional production is literally free energy.

It seems like these are two variations of a non glass backsheet bifacial panel and the difference between black and transparent is largely aesthetic.

There might be a slight production difference, but I would make the decision an aesthetic one for yourself.

It's possible I am misunderstanding the significance, I still don't quite understand how a black backsheet could possibly be a good idea on a bifacial. I would probably want transparent either way cause I prefer transparent aesthetically anyway.
