Bifacial Solar Panels: What are They

When it comes down to installing solar panels, the goal is always to design your system to generate as much solar energy as possible.

The technology used in solar panels has come a long way. One particularly exciting technology development, is bifacial solar panels.

Despite bifacial modules being around since the 1960’s, through the development of PERC (passivated emitter rear cell) technology they have since become a disruptor in the solar PV market.

So what are bifacial solar panels and why are they worth considering? Read on to find out!

So what is a Monofacial Solar Panel?

The majority of solar panels that we install across the UK are monofacial panels. A monofacial module, unlike a bifacial module, can only generate energy from the front of the solar panels.
