What are bifacial solar panels?

Bifacial solar panels can capture sunlight on both sides, increasing their efficiency. The front side captures direct sunlight, while the backside captures reflected and diffused light. These panels are often installed on elevated mounts to maximize backside exposure. Bifacial panels can produce up to 30% more energy than traditional monofacial panels. They are ideal for locations with reflective surfaces, such as snow or light-colored ground.
