Problem 1: Bifacial Solar Cell

We are looking to find the irradiance that the sensor/cell obtains as a function of the angle of the reflector.

Can we parameterize the angle of the light and have it as one ray?

Problem 2: Solar Cell Reflection

We are looking to find the irradiance that is not absorbed by the cell as a function of the angle of the cell. We have refractive indices of n_etfe = 1.4023 and n_poe = 1.6059

Hello Could you please clarify which tool you intend to use for this?

Hello, I am planning to use Ansys Speos. Also, I would like to clarify that the first diagram is for the first problem and the second one is for the second problem.

Hello
THanks to Ansys Speos, you can easily define your input source and parameters related to it and related to all the other element on your scene.
For sure we have some editors that also permits to define all the optical properties (Surface and Volume). Those 2 problems can be easily design inside Ansys Speos.

Kind Regards
Fabien

Is there any specific one of the courses on SPEOs online that help with this specific problem?

[Fbastide]

I'm sorry the only online courses available that I'm thinking of is through the ANsys Learning Hub, we need to investigate to put some content there too.
