ReproduceAbstract
This paper proposes a design and simulation based investigative analysis of a vertically mounted bifacial solar photovoltaic model in Marine Drive Road, Cox's Bazar. Cox's bazar is a famous tourist destination which seems to be a flexible site for implementing such energy harvesting system without affecting the nearby eco-system and solves the existing land shortage problem. Moreover, the infrastructure will provide insulation to noise related problem faced by nearby residents, arising from traffic noises. A model road of 200 meters is reconnoitered for energy harvesting by solar power using three prominent software namely PVSOL, PVsyst, and SAM where a promising mean annual yield of 70492.9 kWh is obtained, and the bifacial gain is calculated to be 12.26%. In addition, a deviation analysis is performed among each of the software and it is found that PVSOL and PVsyst have shown less deviation. Furthermore, a comprehensive financial analysis shows total installation cost to be 84759.74$.
