Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Mandy R Lewis"
- The recent research by Mandy R Lewis focuses on the performance of bifacial photovoltaic (PV) systems, specifically examining the effects of torque tube reflection and shading in single-axis tracked configurations.
- The study simulates how torque tube-related shading and reflection contribute to irradiance nonuniformity, impacting electrical mismatch loss and overall energy yield for central bifacial PV modules.
- Key findings indicate that torque tube reflection can increase annual irradiance in both one-in-portrait (1P) and two-in-portrait (2P) single-axis tracking systems, providing insights for enhancing the efficiency of bifacial PV deployments.
