In recent years SCHMID has developed several equipment for the production of bifacial solar cells. This cell type absorbs light and generates electricity on both surfaces and achieves up to 30 % higher yield than conventional cells, if suitably installed in open areas or flat roofs.

SCHMID’s Bifacial Cell Technology

• Bifacial cell looks similar from both sides
• Front: collecting emitter / Back: back-surface-field (BSF)
• Grid-shaped electrodes on front and back
• Can be interconnected using standard stringer technology (5BB or multiwire)
• Module rear side: transparent back-sheet or glass
• Rear light collection increases energy yield up to 30 %

Bifacial cells can be either adapted for monocrystalline material (PERC) or for multicrystalline material (PERT).

• Up to 30 % higher energy harvest than a conventional module
• Best CoO in benchmark
• Complete process out of one hand
• Smart process sequence with proven production equipment
