The concept was introduced as a means of increasing the energy output in solar cells. Efficiency of solar cells, defined as the ratio of incident luminous power to generated electrical power under one or several suns (1 sun = 1000W/m 2 ), is measured independently for the front and rear surfaces for bifacial solar cells.
Introduction Bifacial solar cells simultaneously collect photons from incident and albedo radiation reaching both the front side and backside of a solar module. Monofacial solar cells only collect photons reaching the front side of the device.
Vertical solar panels, east to west orientation, with bifacial modules near Donaueschingen, Germany. A bifacial solar cell (BSC) is any photovoltaic solar cell that can produce electrical energy when illuminated on either of its surfaces, front or rear.
But in the case of bifacial architecture, the solar cells are fabricated within two transparent conductive electrodes which helps light to enter both the front and back sides of the cells. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) was calculated independently from the front and rear sides under 1 sun illumination condition.
If a rear side reflector is applied (monofacial configuration), the photo-generated current density will be higher, and the highest value will be obtained by bifacial solar cells with textured front and rear sides compared to textured front and planar rear sides .
Module design and encapsulation The bifacial solar cells can be encapsulated in monofacial or bifacial module configurations , . As no full back metallic contacts are placed on the rear side of bifacial solar cells, backsheet foils in monofacial module configurations play an important role to avoid optical losses.
