All the photovoltaic farms in operation in Cuba use monofacial photovoltaic panels. With the technological maturity of the bifacial panel production, since 2018, these have been gaining a growing presence, and it is presumed that in 2021 they will constitute 30% of the world market for solar panels. Bifacial panels, also generating on the reverse side, can increase efficiency between 5 and 30% of the same area. The national and international literature on the subject was reviewed and simulations of a real project in the province of Las Tunas were carried out, assuming an albedo of 0,202 and bifacial modules. This paper was concluded that it is feasible to evaluate the introduction of bifacial panels for future fixed tilt and horizontal single axis tracking projects in Cuba.

Palabras clave : albedo; bifacial panels.
