1 Yield Study on Identical Bifacial Rooftop Systems Installed in the USA and in Germany PI Photovoltaik-Institut Berlin AG Dr. Lars Podlowski, Stefan Wendlandt - PI Photovoltaik-Institut Berlin AG, Germany Dr. Daniel Cormode Bay4 Energy Services LLC, Tucson (AZ), USA 4 th Workshop on Bifacial PV Konstanz (Germany)

2 Customer-oriented Independent PV Experts From solar cells to the power plant, PI Berlin supports your solar project as a customeroriented independent expert since 26. With our international team of experts, PI Berlin provides a wide spectrum of inspection, planning and consultation services. The core of our work is the implementation and quality assurance for complex PV projects. However, we also have an R&D group which 1. does collaborative publicly funded R&D projects 2. provides support for customer R&D projects PI Photovoltaik-Institut Berlin AG 2

3 International Presence and Activities PI India PI Photovoltaik-Institut Berlin AG 3

4 Motivation Various team members have been working in previous positions on R&D on bifacial products since 25 since 212 PI Berlin is working in the bifi community This yield study deals with a special bifacial rooftop systems because predominant application seems to be ground-mount systems based on customer request who has the idea that for a white roof (high albedo) a vertical E-W system might have higher absolute yield than south-oriented PV for such a vertical rooftop system standard panels are not well suited customer needs long-term yield data for different locations for a bankability study This project targets to lead to a better understanding of the energy production at various climate conditions.

25 Summary 1 Tucson 2 Forst data available for almost 1 full year a 45 south-tilted bifi systems has an annual yield gain of +13% - with very low seasonality (+8% +18%) the relative specific yield of a 9 E-W system is slightly higher (+ 15%) and shows a extremely strong seasonality (-15%.. +4%) In the summer months daily gains can reach 5% for the E-W system The limited horizon of a real 9 E-W systems has an impact of approx. 5% to the annual yield data available only since June also here the first months indicate a strong seasonality It will be interesting to see the winter season when direct sun is very low mostly diffuse light conditions

26 Outlook We will continue to monitor both test sites in order to gain better understanding of impact of climate and weather conditions on bifi-pv yield analyze potential benefits of different bifi system designs for self-consumption by correlating data to load profiles (residential and commercial consumers) understand accuracy and restrictions of yield prediction software (PVSYST and others) Purpose is to become an independent engineering firm which is a real specialist in bifi-pv thus to help the PV industry (manufacturers; EPC; investors; banks) to fully exploit the advantages of bifi-pv
