Hi, first time forum poster here!
I'm having difficulty modeling my 15MWdc vertical bifacial agrivoltaic project in SAM. The simulation returns generation values much too high, with capacity factors over 45%. I would expect a capacity factor of around 15% for a bifacial module in this orientation in a 5.0kWh/day region, given a bifaciality factor of 70% and no shading.
If I uncheck the "bifacial module" box, the simulation returns a capacity factor of around 8%, which is realistic. I can also force the system to model the bifacial installation by making two sub-arrays, the second with 270° azimuth and only 70% as many modules, but this is of course not ideal.
I included my SAM project file. Thanks!
