In 2012 Sanyo (later acquired by Panasonic) successfully launches industrial production of bifacial PV modules, based on its HIT (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer) technology. By 2010, ECN releases results on its research on BSCs, based on the by then classical p + nn + Back Surface Field BSC.
The technology behind solar panels continues to evolve and improve. Manufacturers are now able to produce bifacial panels, which feature energy-producing solar cells on both sides of the panel. With two faces capable of absorbing sunlight, bifacial solar panels can be more efficient than traditional monofacial panels – if used appropriately.
Bifacial solar panels are not suitable for rooftop installations but may work well with residential ground-mounted solar systems. The ideal use case for bifacial solar panels is in commercial and utility-scale solar installations.

An early adopter of electric transport, Norway continues to capture EV battery headlines. Electric cars now account for 79 per cent of new cars sold in Norway, and the MS Medstraum was recently launched as the world’s first electric fast ferry. In a global report on lithium-ion batteries, Norway ranked first in sustainability.
In 2016 the more general category of hybrid electric cars, which in Norway includes plug-in hybrids, had a market share of 24.5% of new car sales, up from 12.4% in 2015.
FINNMARK, Norway — Just a few years ago, almost no one drove electric vehicles up here. In this remote region north of the Arctic Circle — where reindeer outnumber people, avalanches can bury roads in winter and sunlight disappears for weeks — “range anxiety” takes on a new meaning. Today, however, nearly all new car sales in Norway are electric.
KUALA LUMPUR: More than five consortiums comprising domestic and foreign engineering, technology, piling, and infrastructure construction firms are expected to present their concept proposals for the development of the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail (KL-SG HSR).
KL Sentral Redevelopment: Setting the Stage for Urban Integration KL Sentral, Malaysia’s largest transit hub spanning 29.137 hectares (ha), has been a vital connection point for rail networks since its opening in 2001. Originally designed to handle 100,000 passengers daily, it now accommodates 200,000 passengers per day.
Greater Kuala Lumpur (Greater KL), have long realised that its growth aspirations must come from sustainable practices, particularly in the essential power generation space.
