The NeON2 bifacial modules from LG Electronics were installed on the rooftop of the Fraunhofer ISE headquarters in Freiburg, Germany, and were tested, analysed and verified by Fraunhofer ISE for a one year period (from January 23, 2017 to February 9, 2018). LG Solar's Neon2 Bifacial module had 26.5 percdent higher power generation than LG Solar's conventional monofacial modules in this specific high albedo setup.
LG Electronics bifacial module uses N-type Pert cells. The rear side of the Pert cell was designed in the early days of cell development to collect, diffuse and reflect sunlight to generate additional electricity. Additional power generation has been identified as an effective way to minimise Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE). LG Electronics' high-efficiency N-Type mono PERT module is the most efficient bifacial module currently in production.
Thanks to these characteristics the bifacial module from LG can provide more power generation than monofacial modules for both home and commercial installations, ISE confirms. (nhp)
