Optimize System Design toImprove Bifacial Energy Yield

Mono facial module Bifacial module

Direct sunlight Direct sunlight + Reflection + Scattered light

Backside Energy Yield

System Design with Bifacial Module

Backside Energy Yield: Albedo

Bifacial gain improves with increasing ground Albedo

Backside Energy Yield: Albedo and Height

⚫ Bifacial module backside energy

yield improves with increasing

Albedo (background reflectivity).

Selecting site with more reflective

background can improve overall

system energy yield

⚫ Increasing module height

improves backside energy yield,

as well as backside irradiance

uniformity

⚫ Module height (clearance from

ground) of 1m and above is

recommendedIrradiance at backside - Clearance 8 cm Irradiance at backside - Clearance 108 cm

Bifacial PERC Module

Field Monitoring Data

⚫ Bifacial PERC Capacity 2.8kw, multi capacity 2.7kw, project located in Taizhou test site (N32.5°/ E119.9°), China

⚫ Fixed tilt configuration

⚫ With same background condition, increasing backside energy yield with increasing racking height
