New thermodynamic formula to calculate bifacial gains
An American research team developed the new formula by applying to bifacial cells the Shockley-Queisser triangle, which is used to calculate the maximum theoretical efficiency of a monofacial solar cell using a single p-n junction technology. According to the group’s findings, the the triangle can help to clarify the deeper physical principles of the bifacial technology.

LBIC: Seeing solar potential
Digital imagery with laser lighting has been utilized to quantify a solar cell's performance for a while through a procedure called light beam induced current (LBIC) mapping. But, because of the serial nature of image processing, it has not been easy to do fast. Danish start-up InfinityPV states it has used a method which can expedite the LBIC rate by over 10 million times.
