Proceedings: virtual BifiPV 2020
This year’s agenda brought the best of the talks from the postponed BifiPV Hangzhou and BifiPV San Francisco Area. The talks selected represented actualized, relevant research in the fast-paced world of bifacial PV discoveries. We had more than 1100 attendees, from 63 countries, who joined us for this free event to get updated on field validation, new market trends, and knowledge developed in this past year.
The event took place on July 27 and 28th (original dates of BifiPV San Francisco Area). The lectures were followed by Q&A with each panelist, and a joined live discussion after each session with all panelists. A full recording of the event will be uploaded soon. Individual presentations, both in video and PDF are linked below next to each panelist information.
