Bifacial Modules: There Are Two Sides to Every Solar Panel
Like all solar panels, bifacial modules receive a power rating — typically 250 to 400 watts — that represents their expected power under ideal sunlight and temperature conditions. Because this power rating considers only the front side of a solar panel, bifacial modules are also assigned a second rating for the electrical output of
