1GW Astronergy Modules to Boost Solar Utilisation in Algeria
The plan is to build 15 solar power plants in the country''s 12 provinces, each with a capacity ranging from 80 to 220 MW. Most of the solar projects in this plan are constructed by
Bifacial modules produce solar power from both sides of the panel. Whereas traditional opaque-backsheeted panels are monofacial, bifacial modules expose both the front and backside of the solar cells.
The 2,000MW plan is a photovoltaic power plant construction plan proposed by Sonelgaz, Algeria's state-owned power utility. The plan is to build 15 solar power plants in the country's 12 provinces, each with a capacity ranging from 80 to 220 MW. Most of the solar projects in this plan are constructed by Chinese companies.
Bifacial modules have been around since the 1960's, yet it has been the development of PERC (passivated emitter rear cell) technology that has significantly increased their efficiencies and created the potential for them to be a disruptive player in the solar PV market.
The 300MW solar power plant is now under construction in Biskra province. It is the first of eleven PV projects under Algeria's Solar 1000 programme, a nationwide initiative aiming to install 1GW of solar capacity. This program harnesses Algeria's abundant solar resources, which make it an ideal location for large-scale developments.
