Technical FAQs 4

Are bifacial solar panels right for You?

Unlike traditional monofacial panels, which capture sunlight on one side, bifacial panels are equipped to absorb light on both their front and back sides, offering a new level of efficiency and innovation. However, they aren’t the right fit for every situation. Here’s a closer look at bifacial solar panels, their benefits, and where they shine.

How efficient are bifacial solar panels?

One such invention is Bifacial solar panels that are claimed to have an efficiency of 27% which is 11% more than mono-facial panels. Even if we look at overall trends, the market share of BF technology is continuously increasing since 2017.

Are bifacial solar panels a smart upgrade?

Bifacial solar panels are a smart upgrade for anyone looking to get more energy from the same space. Since they can capture sunlight from both sides, they often produce more electricity than regular panels. They’re also built to last longer and look sleeker.

What is the difference between monofacial and bifacial solar panels?

Monofacial solar panels use an opaque backsheet that only permits the front face of the panel to receive sunlight. Conversely, Bifacial solar features light-absorbing panels exposed on both sides. This enables them to absorb reflected light from surfaces such as white rooftops, sand, or snow.
