Technical FAQs 4

What are bifacial and monofacial solar cells?

Front and rear view of monofacial and bifacial photovoltaic (PV) modules . Bifacial solar cells encased in a glass/backsheet structure provide more power under standard test conditions (STC) than glass/glass PV bifacial modules.

Do bifacial solar panels increase power output?

Wei et al. reported that with diverse backgrounds, the power output gains of a bifacial module with an n-type PERT solar cell are almost 7.6% on grass, 15% on sand, and 29.2% on snow. Annual energy yield gain of bifacial east-west modules over south-oriented monofacial modules significantly improves with albedo in Amsterdam.

Do bifacial solar cells provide more power?

Bifacial solar cells encased in a glass/backsheet structure provide more power under standard test conditions (STC) than glass/glass PV bifacial modules. However, glass/glass PV modules with bifacial solar cells deliver extra power in outdoor settings due to absorption from the module's rear side.

Why are bifacial solar panels becoming more popular?

In the solar PV industry, bifacial PV modules are becoming increasingly popular. This is because, when compared to monofacial PV modules, the module can absorb radiation on both sides of the panels to generate electricity, increasing the energy yield per square area.
