bifacial gain

Bifacial gain refers to the additional energy a bifacial solar panel produces compared to traditional monofacial panels. Unlike standard panels, bifacial panels can collect sunlight from both their front and back surfaces. This allows them to capture reflected sunlight from the ground (albedo) and ambient sunlight, increasing overall power generation. The bifacial gain is the percentage increase in energy output attributable to this extra surface area. Factors like panel placement, ground reflectivity, and weather conditions influence how much more energy bifacial panels can produce, making bifacial gain a useful measure of their efficiency advantage over traditional solar panels.
