Workshop Overview
Bifacial Tracking PV systems are growing in popularity for utility-scale photovoltaics because they offer high yields with the lowest levelized cost of electricity in most parts of the world. Over 90% of PV modules sold today use bifacial cells and over 60% of PV system market share uses single axis trackers. The IEA PVPS Task 13 recently published a report: “Best Practices for the Optimization of Bifacial Photovoltaic Tracking Systems”, which provides a wealth of information about these systems.
The workshop will focus on technical topics related to the report, including how to effectively design, monitor and model the performance of such systems. It will include talks and discussion sessions from experts in IEA PVPS Task 13 well as a variety of industry perspectives from module and tracker manufacturers, monitoring companies, and developers.
Workshop Objectives
• Disseminate the findings from the report and perspectives from industry about how to optimize the performance from bifacial PV tracking systems.
• Provide information of value to PV developers, insurers, investors, customers on best practices for bifacial tracking systems
• Engage in discussion, and solicit feedback, from key stakeholders.
