The main manufacturers of bifacial solar panels are primarily large, well-established companies in the solar industry that have adopted and advanced this relatively new technology. The most prominent manufacturers include:
- Q CELLS: Known for high performance and durability, Q CELLS produces bifacial panels mainly for utility-scale installations. Their QPeak XL Duo model boasts an efficiency of 21.4%, a 12-year product warranty, and a 25-year performance guarantee.
- Canadian Solar: This company uses advanced bifacial cell technology combined with double glass module manufacturing. Their BiKu bifacial panels are highly durable and used in utility-scale projects, claiming up to 30% additional power generation from the panel’s backside.
- Jinko Solar: Jinko offers bifacial modules such as the Tiger LM model, which features a 13-year product warranty, a 30-year linear power warranty, and a very low degradation rate. Their frameless design helps reduce degradation effects.
Other notable manufacturers often mentioned include:
- LONGi (China), Trina Solar (China), JA Solar (China), and SHARP—all key players in the bifacial solar market.
- SunPower, Hyundai Energy Solutions, and previously LG Solar (which recently exited the solar panel production business but remains supported for existing customers).
In summary, the leading bifacial solar panel manufacturers are mainly Q CELLS, Canadian Solar, Jinko Solar, LONGi, Trina Solar, JA Solar, and Sharp, with additional contributions from SunPower and Hyundai Energy Solutions. LG Solar was once among the top but has phased out manufacturing.
