This would be why they started making bi-facial solar panels, reflected ground illumination increases the panel output, according to some ads, as much as 20%... (YMMV)

I never discovered any solution other than the foam.  You can point a separate panel or array at the ground so you can catch reflected light off the ground.  We discovered that by accident.

I have a vague memory of a thread in bygone years about testing different kinds of coatings to help with buildup of snow/ice but I can’t find the thread and don’t remember if it was about solar panels or dish antennas.

The only thing I can find when I search my archive is about using froth-pak on the back of the panels.  Are there any other options that work?
