Overview

Simulation-based study assesses energy performance of rooftop bifacial PV in various roof scenarios, suggesting complex interactions.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate how roof surface properties and geometry affect the performance of bifacial photovoltaic systems.
  • Simulated energy performance using PV*SOL under various roof albedo and geometry scenarios.
  • Analyzed 238 bifacial setups with different albedo values, module tilts, and row spacings.
  • Applied statistical post-processing in R for results interpretation.
  • Maximum specific yield was 1359.34 kWh/kWp under specific tilting and spacing configurations.
  • Bifacial systems outperformed monofacial systems with up to 11.23% gain.
  • Top scenarios generated positive incremental net present value across 5000 combinations.
