Bifacial Solar Panels: Design, Efficiency & Use Cases
Bifacial solar panels offer several advantages over traditional solar panels. They generate electricity from both the front and rear, so they produce more energy in total. They
The increase in the bifacial silicon solar cells is due to the reduction in silicon wafer thickness and the increase in the transparency of the panels. Under better albedo and proper mounting angles, a typical bifacial solar panel is expected to show 50% more power conversion efficiency than the monofacial counterpart.
This is why many manufacturing companies switched to bifacial solar panel production and introduced them to the market at a highly competitive price that fully benefited the customers and can be at an equal cost as monofacial solar panels. Commercially, there are several benefits in using bifacial solar cells.
Under better albedo and proper mounting angles, a typical bifacial solar panel is expected to show 50% more power conversion efficiency than the monofacial counterpart. Bifacial silicon solar cells are monofacial cells with a back surface opened with a dielectric passivated layer, and a polymer back cover is replaced with a transparent sheet.
Bifacial solar panels are a smart upgrade for anyone looking to get more energy from the same space. Since they can capture sunlight from both sides, they often produce more electricity than regular panels. They're also built to last longer and look sleeker.
