How much does a bifacial solar system cost?

Bifacial panels have transparent front and back sides that can both capture solar energy for your home. The average 4kW bifacial system will cost £5,500 - £6,600, and could save you £860 per year on your electricity bills. Bifacial panels are highly efficient at capturing solar energy, potentially increasing your solar panels’ output by up to 30%.

Do bifacial solar panels cost more?

Bifacial solar panels often cost slightly more than monofacial panels, but just barely. This is usually the case with the latest solar systems – you’ll also pay a higher price for half cell panels, monocrystalline models, or panels with a higher efficiency than average.

Are bifacial solar panels available in the UK?

You may have heard about many different kinds of solar panels available in the UK. One of the rarer and more sought-after types is bifacial solar panels. They’re known as the most efficient, most attractive panels currently available.

What is the difference between monofacial and bifacial solar panels?

Monofacial Panels: Typically have lower energy conversion efficiency, as it only captures the sun's rays on one side. Bifacial Panels: Can capture the sun's rays on both sides, thus leading to a maximum of a 5%-30% increase in energy production. It is very effective where surface reflectivity is very high.

How much do bifacial panels cost in the UK?

For the average home in the UK, bifacial panels in the UK tend to cost between £9,900 - £11,000, including installation. Generally, because of their advanced design and specialised equipment, bifacial panels prices are around 10% higher than the cost of solar panels with a monofacial design.

Do bifacial solar panels need a lot of space?

Space efficiency: Bifacial solar panels require less space compared to traditional panels. This is because they can capture sunlight from both sides which maximises energy output without needing as much surface area.
