"What is the best orientation for a bifacial solar panel? We find that ground-mounted, vertical, east-west-facing bifacial modules will outperform their south-north-facing, optimally tilted counterparts by up to 15% below the latitude of 30o, for an albedo of 0.5."
A few recent solar farms (e.g., Asahikawa Hokuto Solar Power Plant in Japan, and La Silla PV plant in Chile) are utilizing bifacial panels. Given this rapid progress, it is important to clearly understand the complex physics, design, and optimization of bifacial solar farms.
This research examines the extended performance of vertically positioned bifacial photovoltaic (BiPV) panels in actual environmental settings, considering various factors such as solar irradiance and the random surrounding structures.
The results show, that favouring vertical bifacial systems reduces peak PV production, and ensues a production profile that covers a larger number of hours, which helps solar-based production
Many PV manufacturers (e.g., Panasonic, Prism Solar, LG, SolarWorld, Centrotherm, etc.) are now producing bifacial panels. A few recent solar farms (e.g., Asahikawa Hokuto Solar Power Plant in Japan, and La Silla PV plant in Chile) are utilizing bifacial panels.
Global, location specific optimization and output of vertical bifacial solar farm. Vertical bifacial outperforms monofacial farm by 10–20% globally (2 m row spacing). There have been sustained interest in bifacial solar cell technology since 1980s, with prospects of 30–50% increase in the output power from a stand-alone panel.
The evolution of bifacial PV modules represents more than just an incremental improvement in solar technology; it signifies a paradigm shift in how solar energy is harvested. Unlike traditional monofacial systems 9 that are limited by their unidirectional light capture, bifacial systems exploit the full spectrum of solar irradiance.
Since optimally tilted bifacial panels will always produce slightly more energy compared to the vertical farms, the analysis of vertically aligned panels may be viewed as a lower limit of energy produced by an optimized bifacial farm.
The vertical installation exhibited a ~ 1678 kWh/kWp performance ratio, retaining ~82% of the tilted installation energy yield. The results underscore the feasibility and advantages of employing vertically installed bifacial photovoltaic panels in residential settings, particularly in limited areas.
Recent commercialization and anticipated growth of bifacial panel market have encouraged a closer scrutiny of the integrated power-output and economic viability of bifacial solar farms, where mutual shading will erode some of the anticipated energy gain associated with an isolated, single panel.
