Emergent Solar Energy Commissions Indiana's First Commercial Bifacial Solar Project

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - June 17, 2020 - PRLog -- Emergent Solar Energy is proud to announce the commissioning of Wayne Enterprises 40.33 kilowatt (kW) bifacial roof-mount solar energy system for their new downtown Valparaiso Vale View facility. This is the most recent addition to the company's development portfolio and adding solar power to the roof of the building was another step in the company's long-term vision of lowering its carbon footprint and offering a clean energy solution to its residents.

The system is expected to generate approximately 50,000 kilowatt-hours of energy annually, which will significantly reduce the buildings energy costs. With the use of bifacial solar modules, the solar panels have ability to generate power from the backside of the module, as opposed to just the front with standard panels. This increase in solar production offered from bifacial technology, will significantly improve the power output by up to 15% over mono modules.

"Wayne Enterprises made solar their first choice for lowering their operational costs," said Jeremy Lipinski, Managing Partner of Emergent Solar Energy. When I first viewed the roof plan for the Vale View project I and realized that the surface membrane was white, I immediately saw the opportunity to build this array with bifacial solar modules. The use of these bifacial solar panels will significantly increase the array's power production, and this will have positive affect on the project's economics.
