The ever-increasing demand for electrical energy and the need to reduce $\mathrm{CO_2}$ emissions globally make the use of renewable energy sources necessary. One of the renewable energy sources that has shown potential to gradually replace fossil fuels is solar energy, through the use of photovoltaic (PV) systems, whose technology has rapidly advanced in recent years, resulting in a continuous increase in their efficiency.This thesis focuses on such a technology, specifically bifacial PV modules. The most common technologies for manufacturing PV panels are described, and the most significant parameters and crucial design factors for systems using bifacial PV modules are analyzed.A design and simulation of a 250 kWp installation using bifacial PV modules is then presented, and its performance is compared with the performance of a similar installation using conventional monofacial panels.Finally, an economic study is conducted, analyzing the findings to determine the economic viability of this technology.
