“…Sandia is developing a view factor model for irradiance on each cell that accounts for 3D geometry [3]; NREL [4] and SunPower [5] are proposing array-scale models with 2D geometry for fixed and single axis tracking systems, respectively; and Univ. of Iowa is pursuing models using raytracing that account for row-to-row effects [6]. Selecting the best method for determining rear irradiance may depend on the use case and requirements for computation time, accuracy, and resolution.…”

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 challenge. This paper describes the approach of Sandia, NREL, and the University of Iowa to create a bifacial PV model and verify its accuracy with measured field data.

“…Penelitian terkait optimasi sudut pemasangan panel surya bifasial yang sudah dilakukan baru ada di daerah subtropis bagian utara seperti Eropa dan Amerika Utara. Penelitian tersebut menyimpulkan bahwa pengaruh lokasi (posisi garis lintang) sangat dominan dalam penentuan sudut pemasangan tersebut [1], [4], [13]. Selain itu pergantian musim panas ke musim dingin juga berpengaruh terhadap sudut pemasangan optimum [2].…”

PV rooftop is a renewable energy which becomes Indonesian government priority to implement in the residential and commercial buildings. However, its implementation faces a big challenge from Indonesian climate which mostly cloudy and rainy. This threat makes increasing in PV rooftop capacity, though the available rooftop area is limited. So, there is a requirement to increase the efficiency or energy output from PV rooftop. A solution which can potentially implement to do that is the use of PV bifacial. In some previous researches, PV bifacial can increase energy output of PV rooftop about 2%-12% compares to PV monofacial. However, the value of energy output from PV bifacial depends on tilt angle of PV. Tilt angle is a factor which related to latitude position of a location. Due to the most previous researches about PV bifacial are in subtropical countries, so there is a necessity to find an optimum tilt angle for PV bifacial in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to find an optimum tilt angle and energy output of PV bifacial in several places in Indonesia. This research is a basic research so it will use simulation method using PVSyst software. PVSyst software is prominent software in PV design simulation which is already used in some previous researches. This research concludes that PV bifacial has 1 o -2 o optimum tilt angle difference compares to PV monofacial. The use of PV bifacial also can increase energy output 2.25%-3,5% better than PV monofacial.

“…And, again, this is increasing interest in rear radiation modelling, as shown by the corresponding rush of related publications 3 since 2015 and the recent inclusion of bifacial modelling capabilities in commercial PV simulation software 4 . In essence, there are two different approaches to model the radiation received by the rear-side of the PV module (Deline et al, 2017): the classic view factors, as described above, and ray-tracing simulation by means of specific software like Radiance (Asgharzadeh et al, 2017;LO et al, 2015) or TracePro (Soria et al, 2016). In general, ray-tracing is more suitable for exploring the effects of detailed features, such as spacing between modules and/or cells, rack, etc.…”
