Bifacial simulation

[Abeer]

How can I perform a simulation for bifacial modules with multiple orientations and shading calculations from a shading scene without changing the field type to "unlimited sheds" in the orientation tab?

[André Mermoud]

Sorry, with the bi-facial model presently implemented in PVsyst, you cannot define a bifacial system with several orientations.

This will be possible in the next version 8.0.0.

I would like to simulate a 90° PV ground-mounted system for my PV park in PVsyst. How can I set it up in PVsyst if I have a module table with two modules stacked on top of each other, where the bottom module is oriented towards the east with its 100% side, and the top module is oriented towards the west with its 100% side?

Indeed this is now possible in version 8! You should define two orientations, one in west and one east, either with unlimited sheds (that doesn't require a 3D scene definition) or fix tilted planed where you should also define the layout in the 3D scene. Define each sub-system in a sub-array and define the bifacial parameters for each sub-array (height above ground etc)

Thank you! Additionally, do you have any recommendations for modules with high bifaciality that could be used for this setup?
