Rear side simulation under low albedo is not sensitive to energy yield impact. Different time intervals for albedo input are not sensitive under low albedo for bifacial energy yield simulation. 27 Next stepIn order to simulate more accurately next step, we will Set up more accurate irradiance sensor testing system with more reasonable position Simulate through stronger irradiance simulation software like Rhinoceros DIVA Albedo testing method and calculation needs to align the same. Special modules can be made to monitor and verify irradiance non-uniformity on back side. Thanks for continuous contribution to bifacial energy modeling from PVsyst, NREL,SANDIA,CASSYS,.
