If you do not know the declared peak power of your modules but instead know the area of the modules
and the declared conversion efficiency (in percent), you can calculate the peak power as
power = area * efficiency / 100.
power = area \* efficiency / 100.
Bifacial modules: PVGIS doesn't make specific calculations for bifacial modules at present. Users
who wish to explore the possible benefits of this technology can input the power value for Bifacial
