Technical FAQs 4

Can a bifacial solar PV system reduce building energy consumption?

To test the effectiveness of an integrated bifacial solar PV system and cool roof technology to enhance solar energy production and decrease building energy consumption, Ahmad et al. (2021) presented the design and performance analysis of a bifacial solar PV system for an energy-efficient home with and without a tracking system.

What are bifacial solar panels?

The flexibility of bifacial modules allows for various installation orientations, including vertical and east-west, which can help balance load profiles and reduce bottlenecks. Bifacial solar cells are found to provide higher current density and power compared to monofacial cells.

Can bifacial solar modules be installed on rooftops?

Bifacial solar modules on rooftops offer up to 22.6% energy yield gains. Rooftop reflectivity plays a crucial role in maximizing the bifacial potential. Higher optimal tilt angles for bifacial modules, influenced by rooftop reflectivity. Parallel intra-module interconnection supports achieving high bifacial yield gains.

Can bifacial PV modules replace monofacial solar panels?

If the electricity generated by the bifaciality is captured, bifacial PV modules could be a compelling substitute for monofacial PV modules even in the context of building combinations. Bifacial PV modules are able to produce more energy than conventional PV modules (Appelbaum, 2019).
