Abstract

The introduction of bifacial panels in utility-scale farms in quite recent in the world. Previous studies carried out by scholars and manufacturers; mention some factors affecting the irradiation that reaches the rear of the modules: albedo, module height, distance among rows or trackers, structure on the rear side of the module and others. The authors generated 321 simulations of three sites with different latitudes, using the fixed tilt system (SAF) and the horizontal single axis tracker (HSAT), and obtained six equations of multiple linear regression. From them, the influence of the key factors affecting the generation with SAF and HSAT, was quantified.  The coefficients obtained for each factor could be useful for future projects in Cuba.
