German pool installs vertical bifacial solar fence facing car park
Original: Germany stood 64 solar panels upright along the fence of a public pool, facing the parking lot instead of the sky, because the back of each panel drinks the light bouncing off the cars, and they give up the middle of the day to take the early morning and late after
A public swimming pool in Germany has mounted 64 solar panels vertically along its fence, angled toward the parking lot rather than the sky. The panels use light reflected off parked cars, and their vertical orientation means they generate most power in the early morning and late afternoon instead of midday. The unusual design is drawing attention as an example of unconventional renewable energy engineering.
Why now: The counterintuitive vertical panel design showing creative solar engineering is surprising and generating discussion.
