Definition

A measurement or characteristic describing a solar module's ability to capture sunlight on both its front and rear sides.

Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'bi-' (two) and 'facies' (face or surface), the term combines these with the suffix '-ity' to describe the quality of having two faces.

In the news

The article uses bifaciality to quantify how much light-harvesting capacity solar modules have on their rear side relative to the front, which is crucial for evaluating their performance in high-efficiency configurations.
