How Solitech Bifacial Modules Turn Your Dull Roof Surface into a Power Generator

One day, an 8-year-old boy and his father, Princebhai, were flying kites on their rooftop. This incident took place during Uttarayan, around 2 PM. Due to the strong sunlight, very few kites were flying properly.

At that moment, Princebhai’s 8-year-old son said,

“Dad, look at the sun! So much sunlight is falling on our roof. Let’s install solar. Our electricity bill will become zero every month. With the money we save, buy me a bicycle.”

These were just the words of an 8-year-old boy, but his father was stunned. The idea was brilliant. Soon after, Princebhai installed special bifacial solar panels on his roof.

Most conventional solar panels generate electricity only from the top surface. They cannot capture the sunlight that gets reflected and wasted on the bottom side. In this blog, we will discuss the advantages of bifacial solar panels and how, after adopting this technology from Solitech Solar, Princebhai realized that his “dull” roof surface was actually a hidden power generator.

✓ What Are Bifacial Modules?

For many years, monofacial panels have been widely used, but their limitation is that they absorb sunlight only from one side. Bifacial solar panels, on the other hand, absorb sunlight from both sides, significantly increasing power generation.

These panels are equipped with solar cells on both the front and rear sides. Sunlight not only falls directly on the top surface, but reflected light from the bottom side is also converted into electricity.

All-Round Performance

Today, bifacial solar panels are widely used across all solar sectors such as residential rooftops, industrial units, commercial buildings, and warehouses. When people think about installing solar today, bifacial panels are often the first recommendation from solar manufacturers.

These modules not only deliver high base efficiency but can also increase overall energy generation by 20–30% under the right conditions.

Works Like Two Sides of a Coin

A conventional solar panel absorbs sunlight from only one side. Bifacial modules work differently. They have solar cells on both sides, allowing them to capture sunlight from above and reflected light from below — just like two sides of a coin working together.

✓ How Much Light Does a Bifacial Solar Panel Reflect?

The amount of light reflected from the surface beneath the panel is known as albedo. Bifacial panels perform exceptionally well when installed over white tiles, light-colored surfaces, or reflective materials like glass.

Most rooftops today use white or light-colored tiles that act like mirrors. Solitech Solar’s bifacial modules take advantage of this reflected light to generate electricity from both sides.

✓ Benefits of Solitech Bifacial Modules

Although bifacial modules offer numerous advantages, some of the key benefits include:

• Dual-Glass Protection

Traditional panels usually have a plastic backsheet. Bifacial modules replace this with tempered glass on both sides, improving durability and allowing better performance even in low-light conditions.

• More Than 30% Higher Power Generation

While normal solar panels typically generate around 500 watts, bifacial solar panels can go up to 650 watts. This means more power generation using the same or even less roof space.

• More Returns in Less Space

In India, especially in Gujarat, many homes have limited rooftop space. If you want to generate maximum power from a smaller area, bifacial panels are the ideal solution.

✓ Why Are Bifacial Panels Needed in 2026?

As we move toward smarter and more advanced lifestyles in 2026, upgrading solar technology becomes essential.

ROI

Although bifacial panels may cost slightly more initially, the investment is usually recovered within 2–3 years. Additionally, they can generate up to 30% extra electricity, improving long-term savings.

Design

Bifacial panels offer a modern and premium appearance compared to traditional panels. They enhance the visual appeal of your home while attracting attention for their advanced technology.

✓ What Type of Roof Is Best for Bifacial Modules?

Bifacial panels perform best in areas with minimal vegetation or shade. They are ideal for commercial spaces where rooftop area is limited and electricity costs are high.

They also work efficiently on surfaces with white rocks, sand, or light-colored flooring that reflect sunlight effectively.

Conclusion

This coating usually doesn’t come off until you use your solar system, as it is fitted to the center from the inside during manufacturing.

FAQ

1) Why should I install bifacial panels on my roof?

If you want to generate more electricity in limited space, bifacial panels are the best choice.

2) Are these panels expensive?

They are slightly costlier than regular panels, but the extra power generation makes them more economical in the long run.

3) What warranty does Solitech offer on bifacial panels?

Solitech provides a performance warranty of up to 30 years on its premium dual-glass bifacial modules.

4) Can these panels be mounted on a normal structure?

Yes, due to its hydrophobic properties, raindrops roll off the panel as soon as they fall and drag any dust or debris that comes in their way down with them.

Why is it beneficial to choose hydrophobic panels over normal panels?

Bifacial panels require a slightly elevated structure to allow reflected light to reach the rear side. The Solitech team can help design the right mounting structure.

Ready to turn your ordinary rooftop into a powerful energy hub?

Until now, your roof surface only absorbed heat. With Solitech bifacial modules, it can actively generate electricity. This is the right time to capture the extra sunlight that was previously wasted and bring your electricity bill closer to zero.

Maintaining cleanliness is the duty of all of us. We should never do any work that pollutes the land and mixes toxic elements. This is especially often done in the work of solar manufacturing. Solitech Solar may manufacture large-scale solar panels, but it takes special care to ensure that waste does not mix with the soil where the panel manufacturing takes place.
