Bifacial radiation panels have been gaining popularity and recognition in recent years due to their ability to generate electricity from both their top and side sides of the radiator. While bifacial solar panels are commonly associated with power infrastructure for homes, they can also be used in conjunction with solar water heaters. However, determining whether to use bifacial solar panels for a solar water heater requires careful scrutiny on several points.
One of the key advantages of using bifacial solar panels with solar water heaters is the increased energy. Since bifacial panels can absorb sunlight from both their top and back, they can generate greater energy than traditional single-sided panels, especially in regions with reflective surfaces. This increased energy production can be particularly beneficial for solar water heaters, which require a consistent supply of electricity to heat water throughout the 24 hours.
