Turning on Bifacial when using 2 different module types of different size


Recommended Posts

I have a few sites where I get an error message stating:

This will NOT simulate unless I select "Don't use in the simulation" under the Bifacial Model.  Is there anyway around this?

 

Thanks!

The issue lies in the fact the bifacial model is linked to the subarray orientation, but the modules information are from the subarray.

I guess from these messages that you may have two subarrays with different modules sharing the same orientation.

One easy workaround would be to define two identical orientations, and set one to each of your subarrays.

The main drawback of this solution is that your two subarrays won't cast shadows to each other on their rear sides (since the "unlimited" model used for the rear side is only considering mutual shadings).
