Market CAGR for the bifacial solar market is being driven by the benefits and Growing installation of bifacial solar panels. Bifacial solar panels have various advantages over the traditional solar panels. Bifacial solar panels can produce power from both sides of the panel, providing an overall increase in energy consumption. They are frame-less and covered by tempered glass on both sides that are weather resistant, UV resistant, UV resistant, and can tolerate high temperatures and strong winds, thus making the panels more durable.
Bifacial solar is different from conventional mono-facial solar modules because it can produce electricity from both the back and front sides of the panels, therefore increasing the electricity yield. The photons are absorbed from the back layers that are not absorbed from the front layers. The key market participants are emphasizing improving the disadvantages of the bifacial solar panels and minimizing the cost price of bifacial PV modules that will boost the market growth. The rising investment in green energy resources within developed and developing countries are stimulating market growth. The frame-less bifacial modules minimize the potential-induced degradation (PID) concerns. The traditional solar panels are opaque-bak sheeted, having limited exposure to light, whereas the bifacial panels provide power from both sides. It is accessable in many designs and sizes and can be designed as per the requirement of the customers.
The rising induction of renewable energy source for power generation throughout the world are fueling the demand for bifacial solar panel module systems. The growing investment by the government for green energy resources among developing and developed countries are boosting the bifacial solar market growth by providing subsidies and encouraging to deployment of solar energy on a large scale. The bifacial has a low degradation rate and cell temperature, high fire resistance index, mechanical strength, and less bending; it has approx 3% less front surface output as the light passes across the module within the cells and can not be reflected from the white sheet at the back.
The market players are growing their production capacities with enhanced cost efficiency and clean organization supported by new options offered by digitization and technology advancements; many manufacturers of the bifacial modules are researching the possibility of innovative development after mastering their existing product line. They are growing partnership deals and approaches, like collaboration, mergers & acquisitions, expansion, and product launches, which are anticipated to be experienced in the forecast period to provide the growing demand for electricity for the increasing population. Thus, driving the Bifacial Solar market revenue.
The Bifacial Solar market segmentation, based on type, includes framed and frameless. The framed segment dominates the market, accounting for the largest market revenue. The framed solar panels are easy to install and are anticipated to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period. The framed solar panel are helpful in producing more energy at a time.
