The flexibility of bifacial modules allows for various installation orientations, including vertical and east-west, which can help balance load profiles and reduce bottlenecks. Bifacial solar cells are found to provide higher current density and power compared to monofacial cells.
Guo et al. concluded that for an arbitrary geographic location, an albedo threshold always exists above which verticalbifacial solar modules will outperform optimally tilted monofacial counterparts. Apparently, location-specific, optimally tilted and oriented bifacial solar modules will produce even more energy than vertical modules.
Bifacial solar cells are found to provide higher current density and power compared to monofacial cells. Under optimum conditions, bifacial modules offer up to 30% more energy than conventional modules. Comparative assessments also demonstrate higher energy output from bifacial modules, especially on cloudy days, with low light intensity.
Indeed, the PV community will benefit greatly from a set of physics-based empirical equations that can calculate the optimum tilt and azimuth angles of bifacial solar modules given the geographic location, similar to those developed for monofacial ones ; however, such design guidelines are not currently available.
In the solar PV industry, bifacial PV modules are becoming increasingly popular. This is because, when compared to monofacial PV modules, the module can absorb radiation on both sides of the panels to generate electricity, increasing the energy yield per square area.
In the process of characterizing the output power of bifacial PV modules using a solar simulator, three key steps are involved: establishing the bifaciality factor under standard test conditions (STC), assessing the power gain by examining the yield of rear-irradiance, and determining the output power at rear irradiances of 100 and 200 W/m 2 .
