Prof. Anisul Haque of East West University, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Conventional PV modules accept solar irradiance from only one side. On the other hand, many of the emerging type of solar cells are bifacial in nature which has led to the development of bifacial PV modules. Market share of bifacial PV is steadily growing. Bifacial PV modules have opened up a variety of opportunities for solar farm designs and layouts in order maximize power outputs or levelized cost of energy per unit land area. Some of these layouts are particularly suitable in special circumstances, such as, in high soiling prone regions or in agro-PV. In this presentation, we will discuss some of the recent developments in this field focusing particularly on the works done at East West University.
