The solar industry has introduced various technologies to optimize power generation, among which monofacial and bifacial double glass panels are two popular choices. Solardeland will take the Mono 630W as an example to explore the differences between these two panel types and analyze their advantages, disadvantages and future potential based on appearance, usage scenarios and development trends.
Monofacial panels, such as the Solardeland Mono 630W, have active cells on one side, while the back is covered with an opaque protective layer. This traditional design focuses only on capturing sunlight from the front.
Solardeland bifacial double glass panels are designed to capture sunlight from both sides. They are enclosed between two layers of tempered glass, allowing the back to absorb reflected light from the surrounding surfaces. The double-glazed design gives them a transparent or translucent appearance, which is different from the opaque single-sided panels.
Main difference: The design of single-sided panels is simpler and lighter, while bifacial double-glazed panels are heavier and have a more complex and modern appearance due to the double-glazed structure.
Solardeland recommends that single-sided panels such as the Mono 630W are ideal for installations where sunlight comes from a single direction, such as residential rooftops or installations where the back of the panel is shaded. These panels are highly efficient in direct sunlight and are an affordable option for traditional setups.
Solardeland's bifacial panels perform best in open areas where light can reflect off the back. They are often used in ground-mounted systems, large solar farms, or locations with reflective surfaces such as snow or water. These panels are often mounted at an angle to maximize front-to-back energy absorption.
Key difference: Single-sided panels are better suited for narrow or traditional setups, while bifacial panels are better suited for spacious, reflective environments where more energy can be captured.
Solardeland has heard from the market that the efficiency and durability of single-sided panels will continue to improve as solar technology advances. However, they may face limitations as energy demands grow and space becomes tight.
Solardeland expects bifacial panels to be increasingly adopted in specialized projects where maximizing energy output is critical. Their double-sided design and durability provide better long-term performance, but higher upfront costs and specific installation requirements may limit their widespread adoption.
Key differences: Single-sided panels will continue to dominate traditional installations, while bifacial panels are suitable for high-efficiency projects that require long-term durability.
Lower cost.
Lighter and easier to install.
Effective in standard settings.
Limited to one-way sunlight absorption.
Low efficiency in reflective environments.
Dual-sided power generation improves efficiency.
Durable and has a longer service life.
Ideal for installations in large, reflective or open areas.
Higher upfront cost.
Heavier and more complicated to install.
Best suited for specialized environments.
Monofacial solar panels from Solardeland, such as the Mono 630W, offer a cost-effective solution for traditional installations, while Solardeland bifacial double-glass panels excel in environments that allow for bifacial energy capture. Both technologies will continue to evolve, with bifacial panels expected to gain more traction in high-efficiency applications. The choice ultimately depends on the installation environment, budget, and long-term energy goals.
