Aug 12, 2024 · Bifacial photovoltaic (PV) technology has received much interest, with the International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic (ITRPV) projecting a market share of 85%
Bifacial solar photovoltaics (PV) is a promising mature technology that increases the production of electricity per square meter of PV module through the use of light absorption from the albedo.
Because of the sleek aesthetic appearance and competitive price, bifacial PV modules are being installed for residential and commercial applications. Bifacial PV modules are also integrated into emerging applications such as floating PV systems, agro-photovoltaic systems, and building integrated photovoltaic systems.
Bifacial photovoltaic cell and module technologies are rapidly increasing their market shares. The International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic (ITRPV) 2019 Results notes that as of 2020 bifacial cells account for about 20% of the total world PV cell market. By 2030, it is predicted that this share will increase to 70%.
Depending on the installation parameters, bifacial modules can boost the energy yield of PV power plants by 5% to 25% when compared to monofacial modules with a slightly higher cost . Projected bifacial cell technology market .
Gu et al. developed a comprehensive optical-electrical-thermal model for the bifacial PV module, in which the optical model calculates the global irradiances of the tilted front and rear surfaces, the thermal model accounts for cell temperature, and the electrical model calculates power output.
Degradation due to potential differences has been seen in bifacial PV modules based on different types of bifacial solar cells: n-type , and p-type , . The frame, glass, encapsulant, and other module packaging components can play an im-portant role in the extent of PID of PV modules.
