Single-axis bifacial PV supplies lowest LCOE in 93.1% of globe's land area
Researchers from the Solar Power Study Institute of Singapore have concluded that utility-scale PV jobs depending on bifacial panels as well as single-axis trackers provide the lowest levelized cost of power in most of the world. They discovered that the combination of bifacial products with dual-axis trackers is still also costly, regardless of the greater yield. The second-lowest LCOE is used by monofacial single-axis tracker plants.
