Bi-facial panels are capable of capturing solar irradiation from the front and back and dominate the ground mount commercial and utility-scale solar projects. This means they have the capacity to generate power from the sun by capturing the sunlight reflected from the ground, as well as direct sunlight, therefore increasing total energy generation. Dust control and Vegetation management are some of the major costs of Operation and maintenance of ground-mount solar projects. This presentation will show how to overcome the main challenges for bi-facial projects by having an eco-friendly permanent lifetime maximize albedo gain, providing an accurate prediction of production on both front and back sides, accurate modeling of energy production, more favorable project economics, and performance guarantees for the life of the solar projects. The conclusions are that developers, investors, EPCs, and utilities with our recommendation have solved all challenges of using bi-facial panels for the solar projects.
