BP solar firm blazes ahead in search for UK's shiniest grass

Lightsource BP hopes 'bi-facial' panels will boost renewable energy at its solar farms

BP's solar subsidiary is on the hunt for Britain's shiniest grass to help make the most of new double-sided solar panels that can harness light reflected off the ground.

Lightsource BP hopes the "bi-facial" solar panels will boost the amount of renewable energy generated at its solar farms and could make them more economic in gloomier parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland.
