bSolar
bSolar Ltd. – the Bifacial PV Cell Company -is a participant in the Eilat-Eilot Renewable Energy Technologies Validation Center.. It is a manufacturer of unique Silicon-based bifacial photovoltaic (PV) cells that produce up to 30% more electricity per $ than best-of-breed counterparts.
bSolar’s Bifacial Photovoltaic Cell
bSolar’s unique high efficiency, market-cost bifacial cells and modules collect up to 30% added energy compared to a monofacial module, pending on location and installation conditions. bSolar’s bifacial technology leverages the substantial amount of light reflected from both the earth and the atmosphere to potentially offer up to 30% additional energy collected from the back-side of the PV cell and module. With this back collection capability, bSolar’s mono-crystalline bifacial cell provides an unprecedented equivalent efficiency of more than 20% (1st generation) and 24% in the planned 2nd generation cell, at a production cost similar to regular mono-facial cells which achieve an efficiency rate of less than 17%.
The bifacial gain is significant in highly direct solar illumination conditions and gets even higher in highly overcast conditions and locations. bSolar’s technology and cell product are proven, mature, patent pending and ready for production expansion. The company plans to launch a 65MWp/yr advanced production facility within a year and scale up to 500MWp/yr within 4 years.
