Abstract
The Sliver® solar cell technology has the principal features of reduced silicon consumption (down by a factor ~12), a reduced number of wafers that need to be processed per kW (down by a factor of ~30), high efficiency (~19%) and perfect bifacial response. The bifacial response of cells allows a wide range of innovative Sliver® module designs that cannot be achieved using conventional technology (monofacial modules). This work examines the relative performance of monofacial and bifacial modules in a variety of mounting configurations.
