The global bifacial solar industry was valued at $8.7 billion in 2021, and bifacial solar market size is projected to reach $31.1 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 13.6% from 2022 to 2031.
COVID-19 has severely impacted the global economy with devastating effects on global trade, which has simultaneously affected households, business, financial institution, industrial establishments and infrastructure companies. The novel coronavirus has affected several economies ad caused lockdown in many countries which has limited the growth of the market. The shutdown of industrial manufacturer led to the decline in the demand for solar related equipment in most of the countries across the world led to decline in the demand of the bifacial solar market. The decrease in utilization of power in the industrial facilities across the globe during the outbreak has a negative impact on the development of the market.
Bifacial solar is different from conventional monofacial solar modules as it can generate electricity from both the front and back sides of the panels; hence increasing the energy yield. It is made up of bifacial solar cells and a back cover glass. The photons which are not absorbed in the front layer can be absorbed by the back layer when they bounce off any surface. It is covered with dual glass which has several advantages such as reduced delamination, micro cracking, and moisture corrosion. It has low degradation rate and high cell temperature, as well as high flame proof rating, less flexibility, and mechanical strength.
The growing installations of renewable energy source for power generation across the globe are boosting the demand for bifacial solar panel module systems. The key market players are focusing on improving the disadvantages of the bifacial solar panels and lowering the cost price of bifacial PV modules will stimulate the market. In addition, increasing investment in green energy resources among the developing and developed countries are fueling the bifacial solar market growth.

Dielectric passivation layer contributes towards increase the efficiency of solar panel through reducing electronic recombination, increase in ability of solar cells to capture light, reflecting specific wavelengths that normally generate heat out of solar cells. PERC solar cells are modified conventional cells that enable the cells to produce 6 to 12 % more energy than conventional solar panels. Increase in demand for the highly efficient and affordable solar power generation have led to growth of the market. Since PERC are a modification of conventional cells and can be manufactured using the present industrial infrastructure, which will reduce the investment cost on manufacturing equipment. Hence, makes it easy for the manufacturers to change and produce the higher efficient cells. The presence of above mentioned factors will provide ample opportunities for the development of the market.
The framed segment dominates the global bifacial solar market. The frame of solar panels has ability to weather outdoor operations over time. Its role lies in its mechanical characteristics which bring several benefits such as handling, storage, grounding, fixation, and resistance against mechanical load such as wind, snow, and other environmental hazards. Increase in the demand for the green energy source has led to the utilization of the solar panels in various countries. Increase in natural disaster across the globe has led to rise in demand for the framed solar panels. Rise in investment of the key players to invent various alternative materials for frame to increase the ability of the product to withstand extreme outdoor weather operations is a major factor that drives the market growth. The presence of above mentioned advantages will drive the bifacial solar market forecast growth.
The industrial segment dominates the global bifacial solar market. It is widely used in the industrial applications such as off grid power source for the manufacturing factories. Industrial sector is one of the huge consumers of world electricity across the globe. Moreover to reduce the dependency of the industrial manufacturers on the on-grid energy resources, industrial players have started to the investing on off-grid renewable power generation source. In addition, bifacial solar panels are used as a power source for the EV charging industry. Furthermore, it can be used in food, non-metallic, textile, building, and chemical industries. In addition, it is also used in the telecommunication, agricultural, water desalination and other industries. The presence of above mentioned wide range of utilization of bifacial solar panels in various industrial applications will provide ample opportunities for the market.
COVID-19 analysis:
