摘要

This study presents a novel numerical investigation of the influence of the installation factors and ground materials on the performance of the bifacial photovoltaic (bPV) module using MATLAB software. In this work, many installation factors that affect the captured solar irradiance are analyzed, like tilt angles (10°, 20°, 30°, and 40°), and heights of the module from the ground (1.14, 1.64, and 2.64 m) with different ground materials (concrete, sand, and soil). Moreover, the performance of the bPV based on the optimal conditions was compared with the performance of the monofacial photovoltaic (mPV) module. The validation of the simulation compared with published work shows a good agreement with a maximum deviation of 4.5% and 6.5% in the values of bifacial gain against tilt angle and height, respectively. Therefore, the numerical analysis shows that the optimal conditions, such as albedo, module height, and tilt angle is 0.5, 40°, and 1.14 m, respectively, to achieve a maximum total solar irradiance, enhance the performance, and increase the bifacial gain of the bPV module. These findings indicate that the optimal tilt angle was on average about 7° greater than the latitude angle of the site. Moreover, the energy gain of the bifacial module was recorded at a maximum value of about 760 Wh at a lower height of 1.14 m. While it was recorded as about 702 Wh and 660 Wh at 1.64 m and 2.64 m, respectively. Overall, it can be concluded that the ground materials, module height, and tilt angle have direct effects on the performance of bPV modules. Moreover, at the optimum installation factors of the bPV, the power output of bPV module was higher than the power output of the mPV module by 18.7%.
