    What is the difference between Mono Bifacial and Bifacial Solar Panels?

    1. Bifacial Solar Panels

    – Bifacial solar panels are designed to capture sunlight from both the front and rear sides of the panel. They have a transparent backsheet or a glass backsheet that allows sunlight to pass through and reach the rear surface of the solar cells.

    – Bifacial panels can generate electricity not only from direct sunlight hitting the front side but also from reflected sunlight or albedo light that bounces off surrounding surfaces and reaches the rear side of the panel.

    2. Mono Bifacial

    – Mono-bifacial solar panels are a subtype of bifacial panels that use monocrystalline solar cells. Monocrystalline cells are known for their higher efficiency and better performance in low-light conditions compared to other types of solar cells like polycrystalline cells.

    – Mono-bifacial panels combine the benefits of monocrystalline cells with the bifacial design, allowing them to generate electricity efficiently from both the front and rear sides.

    The main difference lies in the type of solar cells used in the panels. Bifacial panels capture light from both sides, while mono-bifacial panels specifically use high-efficiency monocrystalline cells in a bifacial design. Both types can increase overall energy generation compared to traditional monofacial panels, which only capture sunlight from the front side. The choice between the two depends on factors such as cost, available space, and desired efficiency.
