A bifacial solar cell (BSC) is a photovoltaic that can produce electrical energy from both front and rear side. In contrast, monofacial solar cells produce electrical energy only when photons are incident on their front side. Bifacial solar cells and (devices that consist of multiple solar cells) can improve the electric energy output and modify the temporal power production profile co.

Thin-film technologies reduce the amount of active material in a cell. The active layer may be placed on a rigid substrate made from glass, plastic, or metal or the cell may be made with a flexible substrate like cloth. Thin-film solar cells tend to be cheaper than crystalline silicon cells and have a smaller ecological impact (determined from ). Their thin and flexible nature also.

What are dual-use photovoltaic technologies?Dual-use photovoltaic (PV) technologies, also known as dual-use PV, are a type of PV application where the PV panels serve an additional function besides the generation of electricity..
What is a dual-use PV system?While the most prominent dual-use application is building-integrated PV (BIPV), other dual-use PV technologies include agrivoltaics, floating photovoltaics (FPV), and vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (VIPV)..
Is dual-use PV a viable option?Despite its benefits, dual use PV installation remains far below potential due to various barriers and insufficient legislation adaptation. This publication provides an overview of dual-use PV potential, applications, benefits, barriers, and policy. Read MoreDownload files
