Outdoor Field Performance from Bifacial Photovoltaic Modules and Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bifacial PV modules and systems deliver more energy than equivalent monofacial modules in the same orientation. However, bifacial performance models are not yet mature enough to predict bifacial gains for all system configurations. Field performance data is needed at a variety of different spatial scales in order to improve and validate these models. This paper reports on a number of bifacial field installations intended for this purpose.

A Performance Model for Bifacial PV Modules
Sandia National Laboratories, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and the University of Iowa are collaborating to develop a performance model for bifacial PV modules. As with monofacial PV modules, a bifacial PV model consists of sequential operation of the component sub-models. Bifacial PV modules accept light on both their front and rear surfaces which presents a unique modeling challen...
متن کاملA Practical Irradiance Model for Bifacial PV Modules
A model, suitable for a row or multiple rows of photovoltaic (PV) modules, is presented for estimating the backside irradiance for bifacial PV modules. The model, which includes the effects of shading by the PV rows, is based on the use of configuration factors to determine the fraction of a source of irradiance that is received by the backside of the PV module. Backside irradiances are modeled...
متن کاملModeling and designing multilayer 2D perovskite / silicon bifacial tandem photovoltaics for high efficiencies and long-term stability.
A key challenge in photovoltaics today is to develop cell technologies with both higher efficiencies and lower fabrication costs than incumbent crystalline silicon (c-Si) single-junction cells. While tandem cells have higher efficiencies than c-Si alone, it is generally challenging to find a low-cost, high-performance material to pair with c-Si. However, the recent emergence of 22% efficient pe...
متن کاملField Performance Measurements of Amorphous Silicon Photovoltaic Modules in Kenya
Our research team measured the performance of 130 amorphous silicon (a-Si) photovoltaic (PV) modules and 17 crystalline PV modules at 145 homes in rural Kenya. We also purchased 14 a-Si modules in Nairobi that we tested at outdoor testing facilities in the US and Kenya. We used an outdoor IV test method that has an accuracy of ±5% and a repeatability of ±5% for clear sky conditions. The large m...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Temperature Effects on Solar Photovoltaic Cells and Modules
The solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are facing serious problems due to unavoidable losses in their system, leads to more devation of output power from the input power level. This effect is known as a mismatch effect and is available in PV systems. Many losses are encountered in PV system and it is difficult to minimize such losses. In this paper, the influence of thermal effect on the solar PV ...
