30 BIFACIAL GAIN 30

31 Bifacial gain: fix tilt south/north oriented from bsolar > now SolAround 31

32 FLAT ROOF Bifacial gain: fix tilt south/north oriented compared with monofacial south/north oriented bifacial gain: 5% bifacial gain: 10% bifacial gain: 15% 20cm 20cm 20cm albedo: 10% albedo: 30% albedo: 70% 32

33 UTILITY SCALE INSTALLATION Bifacial gain: fix tilt south/north oriented compared with monofacial south/north oriented bifacial gain: 10% bifacial gain: 15% bifacial gain: 30% 80cm 80cm 80cm albedo: 10% albedo: 30% albedo: 70% 33

36 PV tech Blog 13th January 2015 The largest enemy of bifaciality is the old-fashioned Wp thinking of customers instead of a modern kwh mentality. 36

37 CHILE- a bifacial country 37

38 Chiles s Solar Program 38

39 AtaMoS TeC: bifacial technology center measurements module development system development 39

40 summary - c-si solar cells in future will be bifacial anyhow - many companies are already producing bifacial cells: PERC+, npert, HJT, mcperct - many modules in future will be glass-glass based anyhow - the system kwh can be extremely increased by using bifacial modules and simple tracking in addition >> WE HAVE TO CHANGE TO COSTS/KWH THINKING, CREATE STANDARDS AND BRING BIFACIALITY INTO PV MARKET 40

41 Bifacial PV will not only reduce LCOE- it will bring you to great places!! ENJOY!!! 41
