| Abstract |
The bifacial PV module can be used in various industrial fields for solar power generation as a low cost and high-efficiency PV because it is capable of power generation by both front and rear side and can be made using the conventional manufacturing technology. In related articles, it is reported that the bifacial PV module has 5∼20% better performance than the monofacial PV. However, For effective power generation by rear side of bifacial PV, it is necessary to consider the environmental factors such as the latitude, the local diffuse fraction and the albedo. In this paper, We modeled a bifacial PV with TRNSYS simulation tool and analyzed the bifacial gain in Seoul, Daejeon, Jeju according to 8 installation and operation condition by year, month and days. Based on the results, We suggested an operating method that can improve the power generation performance of the bifacial PV module. |
