Time Varying Albedo Impact Analysis
Monitor the status of each panel in real time. This will help to detect system faults in time, knowing the exact location of the failure.
A new standard for bifacial system design, planning and modelling
DUET Designer is an open-access cloud based application enabling solar designers & engineer to optimize bifacial solar assets in minutes not days. Enurgen is working towards establishing new standards for bifacial performance analysis and software standards for the utility-scale solar industry. We have made our software open-access to collaborate with the solar community to establish trust and remove uncertainty in bifacial design.

DUET
Know Your Bifacial Resource From Front to Back
DUal-sided Energy Tracer is a bifacial PV performance model that calculates optical and electrical performance based on a physically representative array geometry.
DUET’s novel shading algorithm pairs a 3D view factor model with deterministic ray-object intersections to capture shade-inclusive irradiance profiles while minimizing computational cost. Series and parallel combination of current–voltage curves capture irradiance non-uniformity throughout the module, string, and array.
