Bifacial simulation of system with azimuth and different orientations

[793935917]

I have a project that the bifacial solar panels are installed on the carport with slight inclination of 5 degrees and two orientations. however, PVsyst seems not able to run bifacial module simulation with azimuth even in one orientation. is there support for this kind of situation?

Hi,

I'm not sure I fully understand your question. 

PVsyst allows to simulate Bifacial PV installations with azimuth and tilt

Hi,
For an eastwest module orientation plan, I would like to consider the bifacial modules as well. But unfortunately you can only do it for south alignment and tracker. Do you have a solution how I can consider this in PVsyst. Thank's

Hi,
at present you can simulate bifacial PV installations that have

• a single fixed or SAT orientation
• at least two rows of tables / trackers

if you have a single row of tables, you should "duplicate" the scene, basically copy paste all relevant objects and place the copy at a large distance in the 3D scene. This will emulate the situation of a single row, because the original scene and the copy won't affect each other.

Note: this is the current workaround. We will try to offer a solution for single row scenes in the future.
