Dear PV family

We are excited to continue our journey following the successful hybrid BifiPV Workshop held in Ankara in 2022. This event brought together industry experts and sparked insightful discussions regarding the latest advancements in bifacial technology. Our attention has now turned to promising new results that highlight the increasing significance of bifaciality within the solar sector. 

We will explore innovations in the manufacturing of bifacial devices, including Heterojunction Technology (HJT), TOPCon, Back Contact (BC) technology, and tandem structures. The characterization of bifaciality has become an essential asset, playing a pivotal role in supporting the rapid energy transition. 

We are looking forward to learning about a new bifacial book that will be published soon and to hearing the latest findings from our scientific peers in the US and Chile. Additionally, we're particularly eager to hear about the recent bifacial gain results from the Karapınar Solar Power Plant. A highlight of the workshop will be our visit to the KalyonPV factory, where we will observe the impressive production of bifacial cells and modules, demonstrating the latest advancements in this technology.

Sunny paths and see you in Ankara!
