What are bifacial solar cells

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. In contrast, monofacial solar cells produce electrical energy only when photons impinge on their front side. Bifacial solar cells can make use of albedo radiation, which. . Invention and first devicesA silicon was first patented in 1946 by when working at and first publicly demonstrated at the same research institution by , ,. . Several in-depth reviews on bifacial solar cells and their technology elements cover the current state-of-the-art. They summarize the most common BSC designs currently being marketed and then provide a review of their technological aspects. . • . The efficiency of BSCs is usually determined by means of independent efficiency measurements of the front and rear sides under one sun. Sometimes, the BSC is characterized using its equivalent efficiency, defined as the efficiency of a monofacial cell able to. [pdf]
