Bifacial Vertical Testbed and Ground Irradiance Data in Golden, Colorado
This data was collected for Tonita et al., ?Vertical bifacial photovoltaic system model validation: study with field data, various orientations, and latitudes,? for validation of optical models for vertically-oriented photovoltaics under high albedo. Ground irradiance data for vertical PV arrays modeling in agrivoltaics is also provided. The dataset is provided for further use or study as open source. For any questions on the dataset, email Silvana Ovaitt.
