In a recent study conducted by researchers at the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), a fascinating revelation emerged regarding the performance of vertical photovoltaic (PV) systems. The research uncovered unexpected energy gains in vertically installed bifacial PV systems, primarily attributed to significantly lower operating temperatures.

The study, titled “Thermal model in digital twin of vertical PV system helps to explain unexpected yield gains,” delves into the intricacies of voltage dynamics influenced by both light exposure and operating temperatures. Under high irradiance conditions, the increase in voltage due to light is typically offset by the decrease caused by higher operating temperatures. However, the researchers observed a unique balance in the voltage dynamics of vertical systems, resulting in a more favorable energy yield.

This groundbreaking research prompted us at INVITAIC to explore the potential applications of vertical installations in our Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) solutions. Our BIPV products, designed for seamless integration into architectural designs, embrace the advantages revealed by the research. By adopting a vertical orientation, INVITAIC’s BIPV technology enhances energy efficiency and offers clients a pathway to capitalize on the unexpected benefits highlighted by the TNO study.
