One-month simulation and operation studies were presented by Joge (2003) but without quantitative results, while calculations of a rooftop bifacial PV energy potential over 1 month were also considered in Dubai, UAE (Ahmad et al., 2021), to reduce consumption and enhance energy production.
A group of researchers from the Australian National University (ANU) and Sidney-based PV manufacturer Sundrive has utilized Monte Carlo Ray Trace (MCRT) techniques and electrical modeling to assess the power yield gains that bifacial rooftop PV systems offer compared to monofacial counterparts.
Bifacial solar modules on rooftops offer up to 22.6% energy yield gains. Rooftop reflectivity plays a crucial role in maximizing the bifacial potential. Higher optimal tilt angles for bifacial modules, influenced by rooftop reflectivity. Parallel intra-module interconnection supports achieving high bifacial yield gains.
This comparison was performed using a full rooftop representative PV system in Canberra, Australia. The results indicate that the use of bifacial modules rooftop PV systems can result in an energy yield gain of up to 22.6 % compared with monofacial systems.
They found that rooftop reflectivity is a key factor in increasing a bifacial PV system performance, and that system and module design should also be carefully considered.
