Description

Emerging Innovations and Future Growth Opportunities in Bifacial Solar Cells



Solar energy constituted 65% of the total 295 GW installed renewable capacity in 2022. About 70% of the deployed solar panels were monofacial panels that generate electricity from only the top side of the panel. Despite their popularity, these monofacial panels have encountered challenges related to space efficiency, energy yield, and dependence on direct sunlight.

Through its dual-side energy production feature, bifacial solar technology offers solutions to these challenges and significant improvements over traditional monofacial panels. As a result, bifacial solar panels will likely dominate the market by 2030. The compatibility of this technology with advanced solar technologies such as passivated emitter and rear contact (PERC), passivated emitter rear totally diffused cells (PERT), heterojunction technology (HJT), and tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) also indicate their future value. Their aesthetic appearance also enables the integration of efficient solar panels in diverse structural applications like building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and agrivoltaics.

In this study, Frost & Sullivan offers a comparative analysis of various bifacial solar cells, their strengths and limitations, and cost analysis. The study also includes the advantages of bifacial over monofacial solar technology. We explore the latest trends, technological breakthroughs, and the patent landscape shaping this industry, providing insights into the market's driving forces, challenges, and potential growth areas. In addition, the study discusses leading global players steering the bifacial solar technology industry.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
