PV Modules: Bifacial technology

Current status
Vertical configuration of bifacial
Bifacial modules open a new configuration: vertical modules facing East-West
•
Normally PV production is lower than optimal configuration
•
But the production profile might be interesting:
.
Peak production during the morning and in the afternoon
•
Depending on hourly energy prices, this profile production may worth
•
New applications also for in Agrivoltaic (Agri-PV)
