4 FAQs about Somalia bifacial solar panels

What is a bifacial solar cell?

Vertical solar panels, east to west orientation, with bifacial modules near Donaueschingen, Germany. A bifacial solar cell (BSC) is a photovoltaic solar cell that can produce electrical energy from both front and rear side. In contrast, monofacial solar cells produce electrical energy only when photons are incident on their front side.

What is the difference between monofacial and bifacial solar cells?

In contrast, monofacial solar cells produce electrical energy only when photons are incident on their front side. Bifacial solar cells and solar panels (devices that consist of multiple solar cells) can improve the electric energy output and modify the temporal power production profile compared with their monofacial counterparts.

Are bifacial solar panels better than monofacial panels?

The technology behind solar panels continues to evolve and improve. Manufacturers are now able to produce bifacial panels, which feature energy-producing solar cells on both sides of the panel. With two faces capable of absorbing sunlight, bifacial solar panels can be more efficient than traditional monofacial panels – if used appropriately.

Can solar energy be used in Somalia?

In a real case study, a solar photovoltaic system in Somalia achieved a performance ratio of 70.8%. Recommendations have been provided to increase the utilization of solar energy in Somalia. Based on the extensive review conducted by the authors, no previous study has been performed on the solar energy potential in Somalia.

Renewable energy: Why Somalia must bet big on clean power

Somalia''s reliance on biomass fuels and integration into the global trade system, including the importation of more carbon-intensive goods, raises deforestation and emissions. Somalia''s

The utilization and potential of solar energy in Somalia: Current

Despite having abundant solar energy potential due to its location near the equator, the utilization of solar energy in Somalia is still limited due to unfamiliarity, lack of energy
