Abstract

With the large-scale deployment of renewable energy, photovoltaic systems are installed worldwide, including in regions with humid continental climate. We present here the energy production of 2-axis tracking systems equipped with either monofacial or bifacial modules. We show that severe weather conditions, especially in winter, force the systems to operate in a degraded mode (i.e. 10° fixed tilt) that leads to yearly losses of ~4%. Other losses that include snow-induced losses lead to 12 and 9% additional losses for monofacial and bifacial systems, respectively. Bifacial modules are better suited than monofacial modules in the studied climate and system configuration, thanks to a higher sensitivity to albedo and higher ability to shed snow during winter, that both amplify the bifaciality gain during snowy months.
