Bifacial Solar Panel
Bifacial solar panels generate electricity from both the front and back sides, capturing reflected light from the ground or surrounding surfaces. This design increases energy yield and is ideal for reflective environments. Unlike the monofacial solar panel, the back plate layer of the bifacial panel is a piece of glass. The above image shows a carport built with bifacial solar panels, with light penetrating through the glass of the bifacial panels. It not only increases its efficiency, it also makes it nicer and brighter for the ambient parking areas.
-
Dual-side Generation: Both sides of the panel have photovoltaic cells.
-
Higher Energy Output: Can produce 5%–25% more energy than traditional panels.
-
Installation Considerations: Works best on reflective surfaces like sand, concrete, or white roofs.
-
Design Options: Typically frameless with glass-glass construction.
-
Best Applications: Ground-mounted, elevated, or carport systems.
