Transparent Bifacial Panel?

[DanielS]

Looking to cover a pergola with Bifacial and can’t seem to find in any cut sheets if the panel is transparent around the cells. Anyone have any recommendations that would allow some light to pass through around the cells? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks but looking for a cut sheet or website for a panel I can get in the US. Thanks

Is there such a thing as a bifacial with clear borders? You'd think every bifacial would have that if feasible since it would increase likelihood of sunlight reflecting off of the back but I'm not sure I've seen one. You'd still have to have the wire traces/busbars between cells.

Edit: it isn't even clear if that video is showing bifacial with transparent borders.

I'm in Canada. But the Jinko 465w panels are as you described. Clear between the cells

Hit up Youtube for "Agrovoltaics", many of those have bi-facial panels with large gaps so the plants can still get some light.

Are you looking for a glass-glass panel with more of a deliberate gap between cells?

Sorry…I somehow haven’t gotten any notifications that people responded to this!?! Thanks for the responses. Yeah, I’m looking for a pergola covering that will allow some light to pass for plants. I’ve seen very specialized expensive glass panels, but was looking for something more DIY. The Jinko looks perfect!
