DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERISATION OF INDUSTRIAL BIFACIAL PV MODULES WITH ULTRATHIN SCREEN-PRINTED SOLAR CELLS

摘要

In recent years there has been a growing interest in bifacial cells and modules and several researchgroups have dedicated efforts to the development of these technologies. The motivation behind is the large energyproduction gain that can be achieved with these modules, which is in the range 5-20% depending on the bifaciality ofthe cells and the optimization of the system installation.This paper summarizes the work-programme carried out at Isofotón to develop a suitable technology for theproduction of industrial bifacial PV modules with ultra-thin screen-printed bifacial cells. A full characterization ofthe prototypes fabricated in terms of energy yield and reliability is also reported.
