Bifacial solar modules 2022
Abstract
Bifacial solar modules offer many advantages over traditional solar panels. Power can be produced from both sides of a bifacial module, increasing total energy generation.
Bifacial modules produce solar power from both sides of the panel. Whereas traditional opaque-backsheeted panels are monofacial, bifacial modules expose both the front and backside of the solar cells.
Some bifacial module manufacturers claim up to a 30% increase in production just from the extra power generated from the rear.

Bifacial Solar Panels Market research report 2022 offers major opportunities, market dynamics, upcoming technologies and challenges of the industry has been analysed in the report.
This market study covers the global and regional market with an in-depth analysis of the overall growth prospects in the market. Furthermore, it sheds light on the comprehensive competitive landscape of the global market.
Fewer bifacial solar panels can reliably generate the same degree of solar power as a typical mono-facial solar array. Being 11-12% more efficient, bifacial panels can reduce the LCOE(Levelized Cost of Energy) by increasing the total energy generation of similar-sized projects.
Besides higher performance, bifacial panels also overcome the limitation of high temperatures. Their glass composition channels lower working temperatures without the heat-absorbing aluminum backing of mono-facial panels.
Even with higher total upfront costs, the added cost of the panels is less than 10%, as per the NREL research. To weigh the financial merits of single-sided versus bifacial modules, the effective leveled cost of electricity should be applied as the deciding metric aside from the rupee‑per‑peak‑watt cost of respective modules.

The Future of Solar Energy considers only the two widely recognized classes of technologies for converting solar energy into electricity — photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP), sometimes called solar thermal) — in their current and plausible future forms.
We concentrate on the use of grid-connected solar-powered generators to replace conventional sources of electricity. For the more than one billion people in the developing world who lack access to a reliable electric grid, the cost of small-scale PV generation is often outweighed by the very high value of access to electricity for lighting and charging mobile telephone and radio batteries. In addition, in some developing nations it may be economic to use solar generation to reduce reliance on imported oil, particularly if that oil must be moved by truck to remote generator sites.
Now, with solar photovoltaic technology becoming more and more affordable, scalable and accessible, that dream is getting closer to reality.
This online course looks at solar PV in depth, examining its potential for today and the near future, exploring the technical challenges, and assessing the commercial opportunities.
It offers you an unparalleled insight into the global solar power market, and will give you the knowledge and practical details to shape and lead the future of solar energy.
