Bifacial Photovoltaic Modules and Systems: Experience and Results from International Research and Pilot Applications
Partnering with the International Energy Agency Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme, a joint webinar about their latest technical report released on February, 2021, titled Bifacial Photovoltaic Modules and Systems: Experience and Results from International Research and Pilot Applications shall be conducted on June 29, 2021 in collaboration with MESIA.
With bifacial modules slowly taking over the traditional mono-facial technologies and providing more than 60% efficiencies from the rear side of a PV array, the future of bifacial cells seem promising. Furthermore, having many bifacial modules already deployed on ground, several degradation issues were discovered and many are currently actively being researched. To discuss this topic further in detail, the webinar shall gather experts from this field to discuss:
- The increasing market share of the bifacial photovoltaic technologies and the most suitable cell types for bifacial modules.
- Rating and safety standards, and the degradation issues specific to bifacial modules.
- The impact of cell and module innovation and optimized bifacial system designs on the LCOE.
- Summary of bifacial field test sites around the world along with examples of field results.

JÖRG ALTHAUSSEGMENT MANAGER PV POWER PLANTS @ TÜV RheinlandDipl.-Ing. Jörg Althaus is segment manager for PV power plant services at TÜV Rheinland. As long-time expert in the field of solar energy he represents TÜV Rheinland in various industry associations, presents at expert forums and has contributed to many international industry standards. Based in Cologne for 20 years he has international responsibility and seen many PV installations or factories around the globe. Meeting all sorts of different cultures and people in business or private travel is something he misses most when stationary for too long. As a scuba diver he enjoys entering the fascination of the underwater world to relax from the buzz of the ever accelerating world.
