Investors and developers are highly focused on projects to ensure better long-term returns at low cost. Moreover, bifacial panels make large-scale solar projects more financially attractive and generate higher energy, which leads to the adoption of bifacial panel products in the utility sector.
Thus, the combination of enhanced durability and adaptability of product to various geographies makes bifacial panels a natural fit for large-scale solar installations which drives its market growth in coming years.
For instance, in September 2024, as per India&rsquo;s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy report, India&rsquo;s installed renewable energy capacity reached 154.53 GW, of which solar and wind comprised 90.76 GW and 47.36 GW. In the forecast years, the country is going to invest heavily to increase the solar installed capacity as the demand for energy in commercial and industrial sectors is rising at a high rate.
<h2>Rise in Focus Towards Renewable Energy Mix to Elevate Market Growth&nbsp;</h2>
Globally, every sector is highly prioritizing the adoption of clean energy sources such as solar. Governments and companies are setting up ambitious renewable energy targets as part of the climate commitments and sustainability goals, which could be attained by adopting the proper energy mix. As regions focus on shifting toward decarbonization and energy transition, it results in high demand for energy sources, which could produce more power with less environmental impact.
The industrial sector is focusing on diversifying the energy portfolios with the inclusion of renewable sources. Moreover, several regions are phasing out the use of coal and gas-powered energy sources and replacing them with renewable energy sources. Bifacial solar panels are an ideal choice for the transitions to maximize renewable energy production and help industries meet&nbsp;sustainable goals. Bifacial panels are able to yield higher energy and reduce the carbon footprint per kilowatt-hour (kWh) generated. Bifacial panels are becoming the best solution to maximize the efficiency of solar power installations in commercial and industrial applications.
Thus, bifacial panels offer advantages that make products especially suitable for evolving in the energy landscape. The panels come with enhanced energy generation capabilities, resulting in high solar sector investments.
For instance, in August 2024, Waaree Energies Limited decided to enter into an agreement with Juniper Green Cosmic Private Limited to supply of dual glass bifacial modules for solar plant to increase the installation capacity. This development showcases the adoption of the renewable source of energy in commercial sector. The rise in the adoption of efficient technology will drive the bifacial solar market in the forecast years.
<h2>Integration of Tracking Systems with Bifacial Panels to Create Market Opportunities</h2>
Solar tracking systems make adjustments in the angle of solar panels throughout the day. The tracking system tilts the panel angles to optimize sunlight exposure, which consequently increases energy production. Integrating solar tracking systems with bifacial solar panels could further boost the efficiency and power generation potential of the installed panels.
Innovative designs and mounting systems with tracking systems allow bifacial panels to be installed at elevated structures, which maximize the amount of reflected light reaching the rear side. Bifacial panels with solar tracking systems will adjust panel orientation to maximize the amount of sunlight and reflected light reaching both the front and back sides of the panels. The enhanced exposure to sunlight would help bifacial panels generate significantly more power than those installed at a fixed tilt angle.
Moreover, bifacial panels will be able to capture diffused sunlight more efficiently throughout the day which will help to lower the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the project. Globally, utility-scale solar developers are adopting tracking systems for large projects. Innovative technology boosts energy production over the lifespan of a project. Pairing trackers with bifacial panels in the large-scale project would optimize energy generation and reduce costs, making the projects more appealing in competitive electricity markets.
Thus, the integration of solar tracker technology with bifacial panels could achieve even higher efficiency, which creates an adoption opportunity for bifacial panels in utility-scale and large commercial projects in the forecast years.
For instance, as per the analysis conducted by the International Energy Agency's PV Power Systems Programme (IEA PVPS), in August 2024, the bifacial solar modules combined with single-axis trackers can provide the solar energy at lowest cost. Moreover, solar companies are encouraging the adoption of technologies to increase the production of bifacial solar technology. This development will help the industry to adopt solar trackers in the systems in the forecast years.
<h2>Glass-Back Sheets to Dominate the Global Market Share</h2>
Glass-back sheets bifacial solar panels experiencing the high adoption rate in the forecast period leading the segment to dominate the market. The design of glass-back bifacial panels are made according to let light pass through and reflect onto the rear side which enable the panel to generate more power. The transparency of glass-back sheets of bifacial solar helps the panels capture diffused and reflected light from their surroundings more effectively.
Glass-backed sheets typically exhibit lower rates of degradation compared to other panel types in the market. With lower degradation, the glass-back sheets solar panels maintain a higher level of performance throughout their operational life, which drives the demand for products in the market. Moreover, the demand for glass-back sheet bifacial panels is on the rise due to numerous factors such as enhanced durability, improved energy yield, and better long-term performance. Glass-back bifacial panels are ideal for utility-scale projects and industrial applications, which fosters the development of glass-back bifacial panels in the market.
