Seems like a pretty good review....

Ok, that makes sense.
On the vertical mount: Yeah I've seen lots of pictures of people
making a fence out of bifacial panels. They say you actually get
pretty good production out of that, and yeah they typically won't
collect snow unless you're getting the kind of freezing rain that
sticks to everything.
A followup question on the bifacial panels: If they're on a roof, does
the top side wear out more than the bottom? Could you get more
lifespan by flipping them over every 10 years or so? I know there's
accumulated damage from UV light, but is there also damage from having
half of the circuit producing less power than the other half? What
about damage just from time?
They're about the same price as single sided panels, and if I can get
more life out of them by turning them over that seems like a no-brainer.

Yes nameplate is before bifacial gain.
Steve they make a bunch of extra power if you can elevate them to
get sun on the backside, you can even mount them flat like a fence
and you make a lot of power with no snow issues

they have bifacial panels? as in both sides produce? other
than rotation to dump snow, what is the purpose?

When they tell you a bifacial panel is 450W are they
counting one side only?
