Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Joan E Haysom"
- Joan E Haysom's research focuses on the performance optimization of bifacial photovoltaic (PV) systems, particularly regarding the effects of torque tube reflection in single-axis tracked configurations.
- The study published in "Opt Express" simulates how torque tube shading and reflection contribute to irradiance nonuniformity and electrical mismatch losses, which can significantly impact energy yield.
- Findings indicate that the torque tube's reflection can enhance annual irradiance in both one-in-portrait (1P) and two-in-portrait (2P) single-axis tracking systems, ultimately improving their overall performance.
