Problem
Designing bifacial solar systems requires complex modeling to account for dual-sided energy generation and shading effects, often resulting in lengthy planning processes and suboptimal energy yield. Traditional methods lack the ability to analyze these factors in real time, hindering efficient optimization of racking structures and ground albedo.
Solution
Enurgen's DUET software provides a cloud-based solution for optimizing bifacial solar system design by analyzing dual-sided energy generation and shading effects. The software employs a 3D view factor model paired with ray-object intersection to capture shade-inclusive irradiance profiles. DUET enables solar designers and engineers to optimize bifacial solar assets, analyze monofacial and bifacial system performance, and monitor system status in real time. The software supports single-axis tracked systems and time-varying albedo impact analysis, facilitating enhanced racking shading capabilities and accurate energy yield predictions.
Target Audience
The primary users are solar designers, engineers, and operators involved in utility-scale solar projects, particularly those utilizing bifacial solar panels.
