Its rear side collects reflected light, and Rich Solar rates the bifacial design for up to 25% additional rear-side power gain, depending on surface albedo. It works with both on-grid and off-grid inverters and is certified to UL 61730, IEC 61215 and CSA C22.2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing sells the MEGA 550 Bifacial by the pallet, in quantities of 8, 10 or 12 panels, for 4,400W, 5,500W or 6,600W of rated front-side power.
