Evaluation of Performance in Bifacial Solar Cell

Abstract:

The most common method for solar cell installation is the inclining mounting method, this method can also be used with the bifacial solar cell. For the installation, its important to understand the properties of light which is entering the back surface of the bifacial solar cell. In this study, we measured the incidence light of the back surface of bifacial solar cell and compared its output power to the common single-surface solar cell to investigate the optimal condition for its installation in terms of (1) tilt angle, (2) height, (3) optimal region and (4) ground surface condition where the panel should be installed.
