How to assess bifacial PV system performance on sloped terrains

Leave a Comment / News /

Researchers from Bangladesh’s East West University have developed a novel method for analyzing bifacial PV systems on sloped terrains. The novel technique is a precursor formulation that is then inserted into existing PV simulation models that do not account for hilly solar farms. “A complete reformulation for bifacials would need a lot of effort, so instead we
