Comparative Analysis of Mono-Facial and Bifacial Photovoltaic Modules for Practical Grid-Connected Solar Power Plant Using PVsyst

Among thorny challenges, During the COVID-19, there has been a great deal of attention paid on electric demand for hospitals and critical devices. Beside given unplanned power outages during peak load of summer season nowadays made system so stressful for seamless operation and therefore vulnerable to possible damages. As a remedy, many utilities tend to adapt further renewable energy in the power system as a way to cope with excessive peak demand. In this sense, grid-connected solar photovoltaic systems can cater best to this shortage. In this work, a 100 kW grid-connected photovoltaic system for a practical solar parking lot is modelled. The simulations are decomposed in two cases of mono-facial and bifacial panels, and the comparison study among them is made. As a simulation environment, the PVsyst is used to design and simulate PV systems. The simulation results show that in case of mono-facial module the 150 MWh/yr with an average performance ratio of 77.7% and for a bifacial system the 171.1 MWh/yr with an average performance ratio of 87.31 % can be produced and thus injected to the system.
