Due to growing interest in the use of bifacial photovoltaic modules this paper analyzes the actual performance of an installation consisting of three types of modules, bifacial monocrystalline silicon among them. An analysis of the operation of the on-grid photovoltaic installation working in the warm summer continental climate of south-eastern Poland was carried out in 2021–2022. The roof-top installation with a rated power of 14.04 kWp, consisting of modules made of monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si), polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) and monocrystalline silicon bifacial (bifacial-Si) delivered 936.76 kWh/kWp in 2021 year and 1070.94 kWh/kWp in 2022 year. In order to predict the optimal configuration of bifacial modules in the tested location, a simulation was performed in the PV-Syst v.7.4 program. Based on a comparison of numerous simulated variants, differing in the orientation of the modules and the reflectivity of the ground surface the best results were found for 1.5 m height above the roof level, 45° inclination angle and albedo coefficient of 0.8.
The article presents a comparison of the results of simulation by a photovoltaic installation with bifacial modules. The analyzed 20 kWp PV installation was located in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. The article compares how the energy production of installations with bifacial modules changes depending on the angle of inclination, the distance between the rows of modules and the orientation. The results obtained in the study indicate that albedo is an important, but not the only parameter to be considered when designing a farm with bifacial modules.
