What are bifacial / N-type / half-cut panels?

Short answer

Half-cut: each cell is cut in two. This lowers losses and helps when part of the panel is shaded.

N-type: a newer cell technology that loses less power to heat and ages more slowly than older P-type cells.

Bifacial: the panel also collects light reflected onto its back. It gains the most on elevated structures over light-coloured surfaces.

Most modern panels combine all three.

Choosing panels in Punjab

On elevated structures over light surfaces, common in Faisalabad and Lahore, bifacial panels gain the most from reflected light.
