Bifacial modules are solar panels that capture sunlight on both sides, often using transparent or translucent back sheets or dual-glass designs, which can lead to higher energy yields compared to traditional monofacial modules1.Double-glass bifacial modules are fully encapsulated in glass on both sides, providing enhanced protection against environmental factors like moisture and dust, and are typically frameless, allowing for installation with both sides exposed to sunlight2.Key differences include:Weight: Double-glass modules are generally heavier than those with glass backsheets, which can affect transportation and installation costs3.Durability: The glass encapsulation offers better protection against corrosion and environmental damage2.

In case the bifacial solar cells are installed vertically, they’re optimally installed in a north-south direction, (with sunlight from the east and west). Installed this way, the bifacial cells can achieve nearly the same yield as solar systems that are facing south. [pdf]
