Technical FAQs 4

Can vertical bifacial photovoltaics be used in Europe?

The study investigates the potential of vertical bifacial photovoltaics (PV) adoption in the European electricity market. It shows that with up to 50% deployment, curtailment levels could be reduced, system costs lowered by around 3.8 billion Euros, and gas consumption decreased by nearly 12%.

How much bifacial PV can be installed in the EU?

A recent study 5 calculated a conservative benchmark of over 1 TWp for the PV capacity potential in the EU on rooftops (560 GWp), vertical bifacial PV along roads and rails (403 GWp) and floating PV (157 GWp) on reservoirs (which can also be bifacial).

How efficient are bifacial solar cells?

Minor adjustments to cell processing steps have resulted in bifacial solar cells with rear side efficiencies from >60% to over 90% of the front side efficiency. Bifacial cells now come in many varieties (e.g., PERC+, n-PERT, HIT, etc.) and many cell lines have converted to producing bifacial cells.

How bifacial PV panels impact the power sector?

Power sector impacts of varying share of bifacial PV panels– PV production, generation curtailment, baseload prices, avoided CO 2 emissions and total system operational costs, 2040.
