Bifacial Panel Base Creation with Exclusive Materials and Methods by Taban Energy Company (a PEDC subsidiary):
Foundation for bifacial panels with exclusive materials and methods by Taban Energy Company (a PEDC subsidiary). In recent years, bifacial panels have emerged as one of the most notable innovations in the solar energy industry. Under optimal conditions, such as a high Albedo reflection coefficient of over 60%, these panels can generate up to 15% more energy. With the commercialization of bifacial panels, the initiation and optimization of suitable base structures for these panels in large-scale power plants have become a significant challenge. The challenges associated with the installation of bifacial panels include economic feasibility, achieving an appropriate reflection coefficient, avoiding complexity and high execution costs, and ensuring durability and ease of repair with minimal expenses. In this context, the use of traffic and sandy white paints has been proposed as common international options. The typical cost of these materials is approximately one dollar per square meter. At the Damghan solar power plant, after analyzing and testing various possible methods, an exclusive formula was developed, consisting of a mixture of calcium carbonate and white cement, applied over a sandy base. This approach, implemented over an area of more than 15 hectares with an estimated cost of approximately 35 cents per square meter over 90 days, initially achieved a reflection coefficient of more than 80%. After nearly a year, the reflection coefficient remained around 60%, a unique feature for this type of base, which maintains its properties even after heavy rainfall and allows for repair with minimal cost and resources.
