BIPRO – Bifacial Modules

Bifacial solar panels, as the name suggests, have two sides of solar cells. These two sides of cells have the potential to produce more electricity in less space, which means that the efficiency of these solar panels could surpass other photovoltaic technologies.

Since these solar panels have less space, buildings with limited space can install larger systems. A more robust solar panel would increase the solar offset, which would decrease the electricity bill.

To better understand whether bifacial modules make sense for solar power, examine how bifacial solar modules work. Bifacial solar panels have solar cells on both sides of the solar panel. These cells generally use monocrystalline technology.

The glass covers the top and back of the module with an anti-reflective coating. Metal framing is often not used on bifacial solar panels. Instead, the glass sides adhere to each other and secure into a single shelving system.

The cells at the top of the solar panel capture direct sunlight while the cells at the bottom capture reflected light. In order for these solar panels to perform at their best, they need a reflective surface under them. This involves lighter colored roofs, a ground support, solar shelving or a solar panel awning.

The technology of bifacial solar panels is quite old.
Indeed, bifacial modules have been around since the 1960s, but it is the development of PERC technology that has considerably optimized their efficiency and allowed them to become the highly prized product on the solar photovoltaic market.

Certainly the investment in the installation of the bifacial, obtaining direct current, and the location of the site and its adapted configuration can conceive of more difficult constraints for a photovoltaic installation of bifacial modules in comparison with the design of a power plant. with monofacial modules. These constraints can represent a real obstacle for investors.

However, there is no doubt that the bifacial modules will provide a much higher electricity production.

Results and studies have shown that bifacial modules can produce between 10 and 20% more power compared to monofacial panels. If conditions are optimized and single axis trackers are adopted, the additional power can reach 30-40%.

Bifacial installations have grown rapidly over the past five years, from just 97 MW of global installed capacity in 2016 to nearly 6 GW in 2019.

This growth continues and according to studies from Wood Mackenzie Consultancy, bifacial modules will represent 17% of the global solar panel market in 2024.

We offer our high-performance monocrystalline bifacial modules in 60, 72 and 78 cells, perfectly suited for your photovoltaic projects and installations on the ground for even more power. With increased efficiency offering a production gain of 25 to 40%, our bifacial modules are intended to be fixed on a structure placed in height, swiveling or not.
All our modules have a 12-year product warranty. Check them out all below.
