Bi-facial E/O

[BYES_DEV]

Hello,

I would like to know what the procedure is to be able to activate the bi-face on E/W structures.

Also is it really very significant the biface on E/W? 

Thank you in advance.

Hi Arnaud,

For E-W trackers (rotation axis along the NS line), yes it is possible to use the bifacial model.

However for fixed dome-like EW structures, no it is not possible yet. Usually the bifacial gain is not very high, since the structure geometry reduces the light available on the backsid.

Perfect, thank you for your answer.
