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.
Bifacial solar systems play an important role in expansion of energy access in various regions such as South Asia and African countries. The private investors have embraced the standalone products as sustainable solutions for electricity access as these systems offer low management and maintenance costs for the deployment of solar panels, which likely boost bifacial solar market. Increasing awareness regarding the use of low carbon intensive technologies to mitigate GHG emission will drive the market. Furthermore, the presence of government incentives and reduction in taxes in developing countries promote the use of solar have positive impact on the development of the market.
The market for bifacial solar panels is experiencing significant growth, driven by various factors. Key drivers include the rise in demand for renewable energy, the decline in solar panel costs, and the increased efficiency of bifacial technology, which allows the panels to capture sunlight from both sides. This feature makes them particularly valuable in areas with high solar irradiance and reflective surfaces, such as deserts in the Middle East and North Africa, boosting energy yield and making them attractive for large-scale solar installations such as the Noor Energy project in Dubai.
Despite the positive outlook, the bifacial solar market faces some restraints. High initial costs of installation and infrastructure, particularly in developing countries with limited resources, pose challenges. For example, rural installations in South Asia might struggle with the upfront costs. Additionally, ensuring optimal performance under diverse environmental conditions, such as snow-covered surfaces or high dust areas, adds complexity. Moreover, the industry is highly competitive, with companies such as LONGi and JA Solar continuously innovating, which can strain smaller players trying to keep up with technological advancements.
Opportunities in the bifacial solar market are vast, particularly in emerging markets with ample sunlight and supportive government policies. For instance, in countries such as India, with its aggressive solar targets and investment in solar farms such as the Pavagada Solar Park, bifacial technology has a bright future. As governments in Latin America and Africa push for more renewable energy projects, bifacial solar technology is expected to dominate new installations, especially in regions with high solar exposure like Chile's Atacama Desert.
The global bifacial solar market is segmented on the basis of by cell type, frame type, end use and region. On the basis of cell type, the market is segmented into heterojunction cell and passivated emitter rear cell. On the basis of frame type, it is bifurcated into framed, and frameless. On the basis of end use, it is segmented into residential, commercial and industrial. Region wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Presently, Europe accounts for the largest bifacial solar market share of the market, followed by North America and Asia-Pacific.
The Passivated emitted rear cell segment dominates the global bifacial solar market. It is a new technology aimed to achieve higher energy conversion efficiency by adding a dielectric passivation layer on the rear of the cell. 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.
