RobSolar Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Let's consider the diagram loss attached. How the 176 kWh/m2 for bifacial gain is calculated? Because if you take 1111 kWh/m2 and apply all the losses/gains (-73.71%, -81.34%, +15.6%, +0%, -9.9%), you don't reach the value 176 kWh/m2. 176 kWh/m2 is the 7.07% of 2488 kWh/m2. But even if you apply the bifacial losses/gains to 2488 kWh/m2, you also don't get 176 kWh/m2.
Linda Thoren Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Hello, Indeed this is not very straightforward. The irradiance on the rear side is renormalized to the 4806872 m2 of collectors after the View Factor (1111 -73.71% -81.34% * 14897331/4806872 +15.6% +0% -9.9% results in 176).
