Grenada bifacial solar panels

Are bifacial solar panels worth it?

Bifacial solar panels use the technology of active solar cells on both sides, so they can pick the solar energy that is “coming” from below. Using my expertise as an electrical engineer and experience with different types of solar panels, I decided to try and evaluate the bifacial technology and tell you if they are worth it at the end of the day.

Are bifacial solar panels suitable for rooftop installations?

Bifacial solar panels are not suitable for rooftop installations but may work well with residential ground-mounted solar systems. The ideal use case for bifacial solar panels is in commercial and utility-scale solar installations.

Are bifacial solar panels a smart upgrade?

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.

Are bifacial solar panels weather resistant?

Most bifacial panels are frameless and covered by tempered glass on both sides. This tempered glass is weather-resistant, UV resistant, and able to withstand high temperatures. As a result, bifacial solar panels are expected to last longer. Bifacial modules are manufactured in many designs, many of which don’t have aluminum frames.
