"Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC)": The largest segment of the bifacial solar market, by cell technology"
Based on cell technology, the bifacial solar market has been segmented into Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC), TOPCon, and Heterojunction (HJT). The Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) segment is expected to be the largest segment during the forecast period. PERC cells demonstrate robust compatibility with cutting-edge advancements such as half-cut cells and multi-busbar designs, significantly amplifying overall panel performance. This synergy enhances energy generation efficiency and durability, optimizing the utilization of sunlight in both conventional and bifacial solar panel configurations. This integration not only boosts power output but also contributes to the scalability and cost-effectiveness of solar energy systems, reinforcing PERC technology's position as a pivotal driver in the evolving solar market landscape.
"By type, the Glass-backsheet Bifacial Solar segment is expected to be the second largest segment during the forecast period."
Based on type, the bifacial solar market is segmented into glass-backsheet bifacial solar, and dual-glass bifacial solar. The glass-backsheet bifacial solar segment is expected to be the second largest segment of the bifacial solar market during the forecast period. As manufacturers refine their processes, such as the lamination of glass backsheet materials and the application of bifacial cell technology, production efficiencies improve. These advancements not only enhance the overall performance and durability of bifacial panels but also contribute to significant cost reductions over time. Moreover, innovations in materials science and engineering contribute to cost savings by improving the reliability and longevity of glass-backsheet panels, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing their overall lifetime value. Combined with supportive regulatory frameworks and increasing investor confidence in renewable energy technologies, these cost reduction efforts foster a favorable environment for the widespread adoption of glass-backsheet bifacial solar panels in both residential and utility-scale solar installations.
"Asia Pacific" is expected to be the largest region in the bifacial solar market."
Asia pacific is expected to be the largest region in the bifacial solar market during the forecast period. Enhanced grid integration capabilities and improved grid stability are pivotal factors bolstering the feasibility and attractiveness of deploying bifacial solar projects across the Asia-Pacific region. As countries in this region continue to expand their renewable energy capacities, the integration of bifacial solar into existing grids becomes increasingly seamless. This advancement not only supports the reliability of electricity supply but also facilitates the efficient management of fluctuating renewable energy sources. Furthermore, advancements in grid technology tailored to regional climatic conditions and energy consumption patterns further optimize the performance of bifacial solar installations, promoting their widespread adoption as a sustainable energy solution in the Asia-Pacific context.
