General bifacial status
Bifacial technology offers an increase of energy yield at low
additional costs
Bifacial PERC technology is at the moment dominating the
market; n-type and Ga doped PERCS are coming
Better module testing and reliable energy yield simulations
required
With bifacial HSAT technology we will reach soon bids at and
below US$0.01/kWh in MENA region and later also in e.g. in
Chile and US*
First bid below $0.02/kWh
was bifacial HSAT from
EDF/Masdar ($0.0179/kWh) in
2017 in Saudi Arabia
>> rejected also because bifacial
PV was not bankable at that time
