The study presented here investigates the enhancement of bifacial photovoltaic (PV) system efficiency through the use of various reflective materials, including free-space luminescent solar concentrators (FSLSCs), specular mirrors, and diffuse reflectors.
The use of reflectors can be a promising solution to increase the intensity of solar radiation received by PV panels. It is known that the output power of a PV panel is proportional to the amount of solar radiation that a PV panel receives.
Therefore, in this work, the application of mirror reflectors to improve the efficiency of monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar PV modules and the effect of utilizing different types of reflectors at different angles to the performance of the monocrystalline solar PV modules were studied.
The power generation of the vertical PV system was remarkably enhanced by utilizing the reflected irradiation from the mirrors. The major conclusions of this study are as follows: The bifacial PV modules were mounted vertically, and reflecting mirrors were placed at optimum tilt angles to enhance power.
The findings highlight the potential of FSLSCs and specialized reflectors to increase PV system efficiency and offer flexible solutions for improving energy yield throughout the year, particularly during periods of high demand. 1. Introduction
Enhancement of power generation of the PV array by up to 57% for the fall equinox. 51% increase in power for the entire year as compared to a system without mirrors. Bifacial solar photovoltaics (PV) is a promising advanced technology that uses light absorption from both sides of PV modules to improve the power output produced per square meter.
