But the gain is highly site-dependent: ground albedo, mounting height, row spacing, and tracker design can swing bifacial gain from just 3% to over 20%. Photovoltaics (PV) is the conversion of light into electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon studied in physics, photochemistry, and electrochemistry. The photovoltaic effect is commercially used for electricity generation and as photosensors. A. Established in 2007, we are a company wholly owned by Yingli Group, the world's leading Tier 1 PV brand. Our mission is to revolutionize the energy industry and contribute to the transition towards a sustainable future. In 2026, more than 40% of new utility-scale projects use bifacial modules, and real field data shows 6-14% higher annual energy yield compared to monofacial modules on the same site. Solar. Enhance PVWatts ® with features tailored to your specific needs! We collaborate with companies, universities, and organizations to privately fund new capabilities or analyses.
