In essence, while Mono PERC panels have a higher intrinsic cell efficiency due to advanced cell design, bifacial panels can outperform them in total energy output by capturing
Bifacial modules have been around since the 1960''s, yet it has been the development of PERC (passivated emitter rear cell) technology that has significantly increased
However, there is a key difference between mono facial (mono perc) and bifacial solar modules in their arrangement. The former is that they are set up parallel to rooftop or
This paper presents a study on the modelling of a PERC bifacial cell performance under STC conditions (1 sun, AM 1.5G) for different albedos. Along with that, a comparison
Cell and module choices in 2025 center on three names: PERC, TOPCon, and HJT. Each offers different trade-offs on efficiency, heat loss, degradation, and bankability.
In this guide, we are going to look at these two amazing solar panels and compare them using different parameters to enable you to choose the one that suits you, should you need them.

Models like SAM, PVSyst and Bifacial_Radiance can assist with system design and power estimation. • 1-axis tracker validation is underway at NREL, showing good initial match with
Meanwhile, four companies offer commercial bifacial PERC+ modules with a maximum rated power of around 300Wp when illuminated from the front side only. These modules incorporate
Bifacial modules produce solar power from both sides of the panel. Whereas traditional opaque-backsheeted panels are monofacial, bifacial modules expose both the front
