Dutch bifacial solar panel assembly

Are bifacial solar panels better than monofacial panels?

The technology behind solar panels continues to evolve and improve. Manufacturers are now able to produce bifacial panels, which feature energy-producing solar cells on both sides of the panel. With two faces capable of absorbing sunlight, bifacial solar panels can be more efficient than traditional monofacial panels – if used appropriately.

Who makes BIPV solar panels for Netherlands?

Hoi! Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) manufacturer for Netherlands Metsolar produces unlimited variety of tailored BIPV solar panels for Netherlands, that are efficient, cost competitive and have exclusive design possibilities.

How bifacial solar panels work?

Bifacial solar panels capture light not only from the front of the panel but also from the back. With double-sided solar panels (PV), we increase the electricity yield by about 5 to 15%. We are developing knowledge and technology for bifacial solar panels and a complete model that predicts energy yields.

How many solar cells are in a bifacial solar panel?

A bifacial PV panel generally consists of 120 or 144 solar cells. These solar cells have an almost identical contact pattern at the front and back, where, on both sides, more than 95% of the surface area between the metal lines is available to collect light in the solar cell.
