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.

What are bifacial solar panels?

The flexibility of bifacial modules allows for various installation orientations, including vertical and east-west, which can help balance load profiles and reduce bottlenecks. Bifacial solar cells are found to provide higher current density and power compared to monofacial cells.

Why are bifacial solar modules difficult to install?

The design and positioning of the junction box are some of the most challenging aspects of bifacial solar module installation. The module's rear side causes undesirable shadowing, affecting energy yield when junction boxes are placed in areas sensitive to illumination . This can result in a bifacial PV cell electrical mismatch.

What new technologies are being developed in bifacial PV systems?

Some promising new technologies include perovskite solar cells and tandem solar cells [22, 26]. Development of bifacial PV tracking systems: Researchers are also working on developing new model designs for bifacial PV system tracking.
