Abstract

This paper is based and written on performance analysis of a 10kW Grid connected solar power system with a comparison in integration of bifacial photovoltaic systems vs mono-facial photovoltaic system. Thus, all these tastings were carried out on computer simulations using PVSyst6 software MATLAB/Simulink. These simulations were done considering different albedos and tilt angles in order to identify power variations under different environmental conditions. The selected panels used mono-crystalline type-high efficiency cells, both in bifacial and mono-facial, and therefore, the technical parameters of both cell types will be the same in operating conditions. With the results obtained, it has shown the power gain in ground mounted-grid connected bifacial solar system is 23% more than mono-facial solar power system, and using these details, author proposed a table that represents, most suitable PV panels for different site conditions.
