Bifacial perovskite cells could potentially produce up to 20% more energy yield than their monofacial counterparts, according to experimental research by scientists at the US’ National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Solar developers ACWA Power and Jinko Power have both penned power purchase agreements in Saudi Arabia, with the country aiming to launch 15GW of projects in the next two years.

Switzerland-headquartered PV module manufacturer Meyer Burger has formally unveiled its range of heterojunction (HJ) solar modules for mass production.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has earmarked US$128 million to invest in research and development in a bid to bring the cost of utility-scale solar power down by 60% in 10 years.

The Biden administration has supported former US President Donald Trump’s controversial decision to remove a tariff exemption for bifacial solar panel imports.

Senior debt financing has been secured for the 116MWp Coara Marang solar farm being developed by Germany-headquartered ib vogt and Malaysian solar firm Coara Solar.

Alongside the recent rapid boom in bifacial solar deployment, extensive work has been underway to fine-tune the yield modelling of bifacial systems. Drawing on case studies from the ATAMOSTEC test site in Chile, researchers involved in the collaborative venture describe how it is helping improve understanding of bifacial yield and the lay the foundations for a set of new rules to inform system design and installation

LONGi has completed delivery of 101MW of bifacial panels to a utility-scale solar array coming forward in Chile’s Antofagasta region.

Researchers from Singapore institute find duo represents most LCOE-efficient combination across 93% of the world, with dual-axis trackers still too costly to become mainstream choice.

Judge’s upholding of bifacial exemption from import tariffs combines with one-year extension of safe-harbor deadlines in week of brighter news for industry battered by job losses.
