Are bifacial solar panels a good choice?

Generally, bifacial panels are best suited for commercial or utility-scale solar installations. That said, bifacial panels can still be used in certain residential projects. If you''re considering ground-mounted solar, bifacial panels might perform better by capturing light reflected from the ground.

How do bifacial solar panels work?

Traditional solar panels, known as monofacial panels, only use one side of the module for this process. The light that isn’t absorbed by the panel is reflected away. Bifacial solar panels are different. These types of panels have solar cells on both sides, enabling them to absorb light from the front and the back.

Who makes bifacial solar panels?
