4 FAQs about Use of bifacial solar panels in West Africa

Are bifacial solar panels the future of solar energy?

Bifacial solar panels, which can collect energy from both the front side and the rear side, are possibly moving more seriously into play now due to cost drops and efficiency improvements. A bifacial solar panel is a solar panel that can collect energy from both sides, while a normal monofacial panel can only collect energy from one side.

What is a bifacial solar panel?

A bifacial solar panel is a type of solar panel that can collect energy from both sides – the front side and the rear side. A normal monofacial panel, on the other hand, can only collect energy from one side.

Are bifacial solar panels available in the UK?

Currently, a handful of manufacturers offer bifacial solar panels in the UK. Below are the available models, all of which are monocrystalline. As time goes by, we're sure to see more manufacturers release their own bifacial solar panels.

What contributes to the popularity of bifacial solar panels?

Besides the benefit of extra backside generation, the bifacial exemption from Section 201 trade tariffs has likely contributed to the technology’s proliferation in the market. Additionally, tracker manufacturers reported that the large majority of recent solar projects using their tracking systems include bifacial panels.
