Bifacial Solar Market Size & Forecast
The Bifacial Solar market was valued at USD 9.2 Billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 15.83% during the forecast period (2024-2032). The bifacial solar market is still emerging due to the increasing demand for cost-effective and renewable energy sources worldwide. Compared to the monoracial panels, the bifacial solar panels have a light-capturing surface on the front side and the other surface can gather the reflected light. This two-faced power generation raises system efficiency by 10-30% depending on the conditions such as ground reflectivity and tilt. There has been noticeable interest in this technology in recent years because of its superior power density and low additional space/infrastructure demands.
Moreover, the increasing adoption of renewable energy, coupled with the emphasis on decarbonization and embracing sustainable energy sources, is the key factor for market growth. As technology advances and manufacturing costs lower, bifacial solar panels are expected to widely be adopted in commercial and residential markets and further the process of the global shift to using clean energy.
Bifacial Solar Market Analysis
The solar energy market has been developing constantly during the past ten years with the help of technology that influenced the prices and effectiveness of energy. One of the most promising is bifacial solar technology which has attracted attention because of the simultaneous generation on both the front and the rear surface of the panel. Furthering the need for renewables, bifacial solar panels have gained widespread application across different regions, applications, sectors, and commercial industries. This article examines the current and future market tendencies, the dynamics of bifacial modules’ implementation, and critical determinants of the bifacial panel price to better understand the nature of bifacial solar solutions’ impact on the world’s power generation outlook.
Bifacial Solar Market Trends
Innovation in PV Modules: Bifacial solar technology is emerging as an innovation in the PV market as it provides higher energy gains compared to mono-facial modules. Unlike traditional solar panels where only the front side captures the sun’s rays, the bifacial type produces current from both sides, and under specific mounting conditions, output could be boosted by up to 30%. These technological advancements have led to a focus on areas that receive high levels of irradiation, particularly in areas with reflective surfaces like snow, sand, or water this is because they increase power output.
The use of bifacial solar technology has shifted from residential and industrial rooftops to utility-scale power plants. The United States, China, India, and the Middle Eastern countries are now at the forefront of adopting bifacial solar farms due to their expansive space and high irradiance value. For instance, China’s Super League solar manufacturers such as LONGi and JA Solar have ramped up their production of bifacial modules enough to cater to the increasing market demand.
Asia Pacific is Expected to Grow with Significant CAGR During Forecast Period
Asia-Pacific has significantly contributed to the expansion of the Bifacial Solar market. It is mainly attributed to factors such as supportive government policies, a rising demand for clean energy, and the manufacturing capability of countries in the region. Some of the leading countries in the adoption of bifacial solar technology are China, India, Japan, and South Korea as they strive to meet their renewable power targets and shift from conventional sources of energy. Chinese companies including LONGi and JinkoSolar have also been involved in developing bifacial technology. Therefore, China is at the forefront of manufacturing and using the modules. Therefore, owing to strong government policies, enhanced manufacturing, and increasing requirements for effective renewable energy systems in the Asia-Pacific region, it is the leading market for bifacial solar.
