The Task 13 Fact Sheet on bifacial photovoltaic (PV) modules and advanced tracking systems highlights how these technologies revolutionize solar energy production. It details how bifacial PV modules, which capture light from both sides, paired with single-axis trackers, increase energy output by up to 35% compared to conventional systems. These systems achieve the lowest Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) for over 90% of global markets, demonstrating rapid market growth and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the fact sheet covers market development and provides an overview of system designs for optimal yield and value, including backtracking and adjustments for complex terrain and weather conditions.
