BiFacial Photovoltaic Solar Cells

Amos Owaga:

Hello IET Community,


I am working on a paper on the biFacial Solar Cells, and would like to hear your professional opinions on the matter, probably in terms of sustainability, efficiency, age and wear, pros and cons, anything on the above will be productive towards my paper, thanks in advance.

Are these two faced cells designed to be used on a planet with two suns? Or is a mirror placed behind them to reflect light onto the back surface? Do they run hot thus reducing their lifespan?
