Dominica bifacial solar panels

What are bifacial solar panels?

Bifacial solar panels are different. These types of panels have solar cells on both sides, enabling them to absorb light from the front and the back. By capturing light reflected off the ground through the backside of the panel, each panel is able to produce more electricity.

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.

Can bifacial solar power increase power generation?

While traditional solar panels only harvest light from one side, bifacial technology transforms previously wasted reflected light into valuable energy, potentially increasing power generation by up to 30%.

How do bifacial solar panels generate electricity?

Bifacial solar panels generate electricity by capturing sunlight on both the front and rear sides. A portion of sunlight is directly absorbed by the solar cells, while some light gets trapped within the panel glass and eventually absorbed.
