I would put something reflective on the ground underneath it and see how much more you can get. Something like a car sunshade that is reflective would at least give you some extra power. Something that has no ripples in it might be better.

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

I'll do more testing. Unfortunately my timing and the sun wasn't good today ;-)

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

Nice testing. I have not tried bifacial panels yet, but perhaps in the near future i will. Thanks and greetings from Jamaica.

[@AuditorsUnited]

get the reflective foil thermal blankets make a tight frame for it and place it behind the panel. use 2 and angle them. get lots of power

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

Great idea! I'm sure this helps :-)

[@yiwang2537]

The surface area of eco-worthy 195 is ony around 80% of others, so you can only expect 160 Watt ish. Unless they made somes big advancement on solar cell technology which is highly unlikely. But overall, they are good quality and cost efficient especially when size is a big concern.

Thank you Tobi, very good video. I own several Renogy 220w bifacial panels along with 2x 220w Ecoflow bifacial portable panels. These units do not disappoint and perform well. I prefer to connect these in series to get the maximum effect the MPPT controller in the smart storage battery I use. Thanks again, good work

[@peterromanofsky]

ohms law is all ways right! LOAD is a dependant variable as load is increased power in watts also increases. different type battery requires different voltages hence wattage will also be different. a module in between controls all of this

[@rodolphealmaguer8711]

Purchased four of the same solar panels and was very disappointed by their advertisement from what I have heard bifacial don't perform well under the heat. I add a white background under the roof of my rv, and it did not help at all since I am getting the same results than in your video (around 540 total to max 640 for a short period of time). I am going to try with some aluminum tape in the background just to see if it's going to improve their performance.

[@practicaltactical1336]

Which Victron controller are you using? They seem to be the best! I'm trying to see why you are only getting 7.71 Amps on the multimeter out of the 9.85 Amps possible? If you have the 75/10 maybe the 75/15 model could use more Amps? Thanks

[@davehimlin2374]

so if there was a way to get maz light on front and back, you would get near 250 watts total ?

[@leeloy2108]

Eco worthy solar panels outputs are way below claimed specs. Mine are worser. I have the same panels. With Victron controller , these panels will only produce about 130 watts each MAX. 4-5 year ago, panels from all manufacturers still produce those exact specs sticker / emblem wattage and more!! Thanks

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

Very disappointing but good to understand it's not only me :/

[@paulowen2713]

Great test.I am considering these for a boat. I currently have two 140 watt panels in parallel overhanging the water at the back of the boat, so my thinking is that, out at sea, there should be a lot of reflection off the water and so more power. I would be very interested in a test of this idea?.

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

Good question! I think yes that would work! I don't have a boat to t at it but if the surface (water or white boat) helps with the reflection this is a great opportunity! But go with a different brand. This panel does not work well in my opinion and is higher advertised and delivers too little. Jeep us posted!

[@hunglukenguyen]

your mic has some volume issue

[@audiophilip7856]

hi, I have six of these in series, today my bluetti AC300 showed a peak of 1134 watts

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

That's good, 189 per panel! Thanks for sharing!

[@davehimlin2374]

wow..that seems impossible....you clai myou are getting around 190 watts each panel....thats unheard of since each panel is onyl rated at 195 watts. Very odd

[@audiophilip7856]

[@thesecret2]

if you put a reflective aluminum sheet under it, you will get more

[@ArtsShadow2]

Have you tried it at a ninety degree position?

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

No, I did not go that high on an angle.

[@thelasthallow]

these exact same panels are still being sold on amazon and every review ive seen of them shows that they all perform siginificantly lower than their rated spec even in the best case scenarios placing mirros behind them or directing sunlight to the back side only gets them up to about 170 maybe 180w max, where as other better built bifacial solar panels (higher quality ones obviously) will easily meet their rated wattage or higher. i think these specifica panels are just low quality chinese crap pushed out because of "bifacial magic"

[@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi]

That's false advertisement in my opinion... So far Eco Worthy products seems to be cheap but were disappointing, at least for me :/

[@anthonyglaser929]

I bet if you put a big piece of tin foil behind it you would have gotten a lot more power.

[@Sulucion6Tone]
