Jolywood noted that the ‘I-V test method was preliminarily confirmed after discussions on bifacial solar cell modules, including test conditions, test methods and processes, nominal requirements for module nameplates, test reports and other relevant elements. At the same time, the corresponding recommended values of the standard have also been proposed in accordance with different installation sites.’

Liu Yong, CEO of Jolywood Solar Technology said, “This a significant step forward for Jolywood. We expect it to bring commercial success. Jolywood is committed to promoting further cost-cutting in the breakthrough technology and its large-scale application in order to inject new momentum into the industry.”

Recently, Yingli Green touted its role in developing international standards for bifacial modules and is one of leading suppliers to date. 

Jolywood is currently ramping the world's largest 2.1GW N-type monocrystalline bifacial solar cell production facility in China.

Bifacial solar cells and modules were the hottest new products showcased at SNEC 2017, in Shanghai, the largest dedicated solar exhibition.

The 4th bifiPV workshop is being held in Konstanz, Germany on October 25 to 26, 2017.
