bSolar has advised that its high-efficiency, bifacial PV crystalline silicon solar cells are ready to be showcased during Intersolar Europe in Munich June 14-16. The company’s bifacial cells use the cells’ back side to collect reflected and diffused sunlight in order to produce added electricity. They are manufactured using p-type wafers, standard equipment and production processes.

According to bSolar, the new cells hold a 10-30% higher kWh per kWp installed in standard application and up to 50% in vertical installations. This, notes the company, is equivalent to a cell efficiency of 21-24% in standard applications. The cells can be used for flat rooftop and ground installations as well as certain BIPV applications such as solar sound barriers, carports, and green houses.
