The vertical panels are bifacial so they get some of the light being reflected from the other side. This is a huge boost to their productivity.

The other major advantage here is that you can use them with farming and actually do something with the space.

In addition areas where it snows sees a dramatic uptick in solar power because of the reflection of the snow and not needing to brush the panels off.

vertical panel layouts really open up a LOT of options that were not available before. (using them as fences, putting them on sun facing walls of homes spaced off and letting the pass through sunlight hit the other side). There's a lot of possibilities here).
