US-based GameChange Solar, a leading global provider of solar tracking solutions, has received third-party validation for its bifacial PV modeling performance from Enertis Applus+. GameChange Solar’s approach to modeling bifacial solar plants is notably advanced, utilizing bifacial_radiance software from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). According to GameChange Solar, this software offers precise modeling by considering structure shading, mismatch losses, and transparency, improving on simpler methods like those in PVsyst. The bifacial_radiance tool, validated against actual data, integrates seamlessly into PVSyst, the top industry software. GameChange Solar claims this advanced ray-tracing approach ensures accurate and reliable modeling. Enertis Applus+’s independent validation confirms the accuracy of GameChange Solar’s techniques.
