International Space Station Assembly Elements
This view of the International Space Station''s new P6 (Port) truss and its solar arrays was pictured from space shuttle Discovery after it undocked on Dec. 9, 2000.
Are the ISS US Segment solar arrays double-sided?
Some answers on this site claim that the ISS US Segment solar arrays are double-sided (i.e. cells on both sides of the blanket).
Solar in Space: Powering the International Space Station
They are bifacial- that is, they are two-sided, allowing the arrays to collect sunlight from a wide variety of angles as the station orbits the planet every 90 minutes.

On April 25, 1954 in Murray Hill, New Jersey, they demonstrated their solar panel by using it to power a small toy Ferris wheel and a solar powered radio transmitter. They were initially about
Electrical system of the International Space Station
The ISS electrical system uses solar cells to directly convert sunlight to electricity. Large numbers of cells are assembled in arrays to produce
Study on the Method of Increasing PV Efficiency for Power
PDF | The power supply of space stations and satellites is carried out through using double-sided photovoltaic panels with efficiency 25% to 30%.
Bifacial solar panels: What you need to know
Manufacturers are now able to produce bifacial panels, which feature energy-producing solar cells on both sides of the panel. With two
How are the silicon PV cells constructed in the ISS''s solar
My understanding is that the ISS''s solar panels are silicon and double sided to maximize bang-for-the-pound (average power per kilogram transported to orbit). See Are the
