Using Two-Faced Solar Panels Can Increase Generation, 2019-01-30

Lewis Martinez As developers strive to increase their solar production while minimizing costs, bi-facial modules are becoming an important and up-and-coming solar technology that will help increase energy production. Bi-facial panels harvest energy from both sides by absorbing light reflections in addition to direct sunlight. This increases the overall energy production and reduces developers’ overall levelized cost of energy.  In contrast, traditional solar panels have a single face exposure, where opaque back-sheeting is installed preventing the back of the cell from generating any additional power. . . .
Under the right conditions, bi-facial solar panels can capture energy on both sides of a solar installation.
