In theory, using two-axis trackers would maximize the yield. For obvious economic reasons, a fixed installation towards the south is the more popular setup. But it is not the power output alone, that counts in the end, as power prices differ a lot throughout the day. They are low at noon, when there is plenty of energy available and higher in the morning and evening hours.<\/p><h3>So what is the best setup from an economic perspective?\u00a0<\/h3><p>That is the question investigated by Matteo Baricchio and Hesan Ziar, two young researchers at the Technical University of Delft. In this episode of OTT CAST, we elaborate on their exciting research work, that compares East\/West (E\/W) vertical bifacial photovoltaic (PV) modules with conventional North\/South (N\/S) tilted configuration depending on the design choices &#8211; such as distance between module rows and installation height &#8211; and external conditions. We are joined by Marc Korevaar, our experienced Scientist at OTT HydroMet, who supported the researchers during their complex simulations with real measurement data.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b23057 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"7b23057\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:3,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PV_Plant_Setup.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"7b23057\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Working principle of the optical model: (a) Sky view factor of a ground segment, (b) View factor between a cell and a ground\u2019s segment, (c) active segments for a rear cell, (d) field of view of a rear cell.\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTAyMjYwMSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Jsb2cub3R0aHlkcm9tZXQuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wOFwvUFZfUGxhbnRfU2V0dXAuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiN2IyMzA1NyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PV_Plant_Setup.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"151\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PV_Plant_Setup_Measurementsa_at_Kipp.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"7b23057\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Experimental setup to verify the simulated data, measurements provided by researchers of OTT HydroMet.\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTAyMjYwMywidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Jsb2cub3R0aHlkcm9tZXQuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wOFwvUFZfUGxhbnRfU2V0dXBfTWVhc3VyZW1lbnRzYV9hdF9LaXBwLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6IjdiMjMwNTcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PV_Plant_Setup_Measurementsa_at_Kipp.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"135\" aria-label=\"pyranometers at the back of the pv modules capturing irradiance on bifacial modules\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PV_Plant_Setup_Prices.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"7b23057\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Main steps in the modelling of the electricity prices.
