Abstract
A method of soil treatment that allows for the creation of or installation of a highly reflective surface for use in conjunction with bifacial solar panels to more efficiently generate clean energy.
Claims14
A method of treating soil to increase efficiency of bifacial solar panels, comprising:
- stabilizing the soil under an installation of one or more bifacial solar panels wherein stabilizing the soil comprises smoothing the ground surface of the soil;
- and applying a soil treatment to the stabilized soil, thereby increasing the reflectivity of the soil relative to untreated soil;
- wherein the soil treatment comprises one or more soil sealants to reduce soil permeability and moisture penetration in soil.
A method of treating a soil surface to increase efficiency of bifacial solar panels, comprising applying a fog coat to a soil surface under an installation of one or more bifacial solar panels, wherein the fog coat comprises a soil treatment to increase the reflectivity of the soil relative to untreated soil.
