Irradiance on the upper and lower modules of a two-high bifacial tracking system

· Keith McIntosh · SunSolve Yield Videos

This is a presentation from the 47th IEEE PVSC 2020 in collaboration with Cypress Creek Renewables and PV Evolution Labs. This research project was funded by the US Department of Energy. The presentation covers the following topics:

  • Which modules produce more power in a two-high bifacial system?
  • A comparison of simulation results to experiment.
  • Breakdown of the factors that cause non-uniform illumination in two-high system.
  • A comparison between view factor and ray tracing approaches.
  • An exploration of end of row edge effects for bifacial modules.
