In this video, we compare the performance of REA Fusion 2 Bifacial solar panels to standard solar panels to determine if the extra cost is truly worth it. When conducting this test we also assessed what impact microinverters vs a standard hybrid inverter had on overall performance (in combination with these standard vs bifacial panels). We review the results of this test to conclude which type of panel offers better efficiency and value for money. If you're considering investing in solar energy, this video will provide you with valuable insights to help you make an informed decision on whether bifacial solar panels are 'worth it'.
