PV Modules: Bifacial technology

Key Ideas
Introduction
Since about 2012, interest in bifacial PV has been constantly
increasing
•
•
•
Some of the new solar cell technologies, which are currently
being implemented in industrial production, allow a
comparatively simple adaptation to a bifacial layout
General trend towards glass/glass modules with superior
reliability
A major issue is the uncertainty regarding the additional
'bifacial' yield, which is due to the more complicated irradiation
conditions and the power rating of bifacial modules.
Standardized measurement conditions for bifacial modules
published in 2019: IEC TS 60904-1-2
Starting from today's 12% bifacial market share the ITRPV
roadmap 2020 predicts an increase to around 33% by 2027.
