The main goal of this paper is to review the most important methods previously developed to
enhance the efficiency and increase the lifetime of photovoltaic panels. The methods to …

We have investigated the influence of the spectral albedo on the power output of bifacial
solar cells. We adapted the Shockley-Queisser radiative flux balance framework to account …

General guidelines for determining the layout of photovoltaic (PV) arrays were historically
developed for monofacial fixed-tilt systems at low-to-moderate latitudes. As the PV market …

Within the framework of IEA PVPS, Task 13 aims to provide support to market actors working
to improve the operation, the reliability and the quality of PV components and systems …

This study thermodynamically investigates a newly developed supercritical geothermal and
solar-based integrated energy system and applies to a local community which is near …

This study reports on the first full-year field study in Sweden using bifacial photovoltaic
modules. The two test sites are located on flat roofs with a low albedo of 0.05 in Linköping …

Bifacial photovoltaic (PV) performance models strive to accurately quantify rear-incident
irradiance. While ray tracing models are optically rigorous, they require significant …

In this paper, we investigate the use of monofacial PV models to simulate the production of
bifacial PV systems over different albedos. Analytical and empirical models were evaluated …

This paper develops an incident energy-based model for fixed multi-row bifacial PV systems
considering ground albedo and different configuration parameters, including the inclination …

In this study, a novel configuration for luminescent solar concentrator photovoltaic (LSC PV)
devices is presented, with vertically placed bifacial PV solar cells made of mono-crystalline …
