“…Since, the front and back side of the absorber can be illuminated by using Sea Shell concentrator so, it is useful for bifacial solar cell. Sea Shell concentrator has a large range of acceptance angle (+36° to -36°) and better geometrical concentration ratio is in comparison with other conventional one [2]. The integration of bifacial solar cell modules into the concentrator is of great interest because it enhances the efficiency and improve the solar cell power generation.…”

“…The integration of bifacial solar cell modules into the concentrator is of great interest because it enhances the efficiency and improve the solar cell power generation. Although this concentrator is well suited for thermal application as a solar energy collector to drive absorption air conditioner which needs a temperature of 100° or more [2,3], we have analyzed the use of it in the bifacial PV module application. A PV module of 30 cells of area 149 cm 2 (cell) and the series resistance of 0.1099 Ω have been considered.…”

This paper depicts the electrical performance of the bifacial PV module at multiple sun conditions. The integration of the bifacial module into a new static Sea Shell concentrator have been accomplished to take the benefits from a large range of acceptance angle (+36° to -36°) and an average optical gain 2.815. The dependency of the short circuit current (Isc), maximum power output (Pm), and efficiency (η) on the incident angle of illumination and optical gain of the concentrator have been analyzed in this manuscript. Simulation of the performance parameters of the bifacial module has been accomplished to estimate the average electrical output from summer to winter solstice. It has been possible to obtain more than 180 % enhancement in Isc, 250 % in Pm , and 35 % in η from the rear surface of the module when integrated into Sea Shell concentrator. The effect of the series resistance (Rs) on the Pm and η of the bifacial PV module has also been reported.
