This paper reviews the energy yield enhancement characteristics of bifacial photovoltaic systems combined with solar tracking, focusing on their performance relative to conventional monofacial fixed-tilt configurations. The fundamental mechanisms of yield improvement are summarized, highlighting the largely additive contributions of solar tracking, which increases front-side irradiance, and bifacial modules, which utilize rear-side reflected and diffuse radiation. Reported results from previous studies indicate that bifacial systems with single-axis tracking typically achieve 25–35% higher annual energy yield compared with standard monofacial fixed-tilt systems, with variations depending on environmental and design conditions. Key design and environmental considerations influencing system performance are discussed to provide practical insights for the application of bifacial tracking systems in utilityscale photovoltaic installations.
The printed and bifacial organic photovoltaics (OPVs) using a semi-transparent electrode structure to enhance light management were investigated. To optimize energy-band alignment for bifacial device structure, a cathode interlayer of ZnO nanoparticles with a low work function of 3.9 eV combined with a polyethyleneimine (PEI) layer was employed. Photon distribution simulations revealed the influence of structural parameters on device conductivity, light absorption, and surface morphology. The dispensing strength, adjusted via applied voltage during printing, significantly impacted device performance. At 13 V and 17 V, J-V characteristics were consistent; however, at 20 V, line width increased by approximately 100%, resulting in a 50% reduction in PCE. These findings highlight the critical relationship between spraying strength, line width, and efficiency, offering valuable insights for advancing printed OPV technologies.
