Unlocking full potential of East West PV designs | Webinar by RatedPower

East-West PV structures present unique challenges for solar designers-shading, energy imbalances, and dual conditions are just the beginning. But with the right approach, you can overcome these hurdles and unlock the full potential of your PV plant.
Join this upcoming webinar hosted by our Technical Advisors Samih Kalakeche and Ming Cheng, as they share insights on East-West PV structures and strategies to manage inverters effectively in this dynamic setup.
In this 45-minute session, you'll learn:
· How to overcome shading challenges with optimized layout adjustments.
· Smart MPPT strategies to manage energy yield and address dual conditions.
· Tips for optimizing bifacial performance and string/inverter connections.

dear ming, your graph of showing added yield in the morning and evening is incorrect, both ew and south will stop production at the same time, ew will not generate during night time and you will loose much more in mid day than gain at morning and evening because of low angles. 56 performance ratio is just insane and it is just incorrect to compare 86 pr to 56 pr. you must use very low inclination for south to avoid shadow, if you will just put south high angle without any space for shadow, you will get this result, however no one builds like that and it is very incorrect analysis.

Thank you for watching our webinar and sharing your feedback on the EW structure! We appreciate your insights and hope to engage with you live in future sessions to discuss these topics.
You’re absolutely right about the production curve-the x-axis should have been limited to daylight hours (sunrise to sunset) instead of a full 24-hour scale, as shown in the final graph at around 13:30 in the video.
Regarding the PR, we agree that 56% is unrealistically low for any solar plant. As our colleague Ming mentioned during the webinar, the comparison aimed to fit the same amount of PV panels in both scenarios, with the structure type (EW vs. Fixed Tilt) being the key variable. To achieve the same Peak Power on DC side, the distance and tilt are both compromised. This exaggerated the PR difference, but it highlights the structural limitations. Note that we could also vary the Peak Power, and exploring variations in peak power in more depth would indeed be interesting and could make for a great topic in a future webinar-we’ll definitely keep it in mind!
Thank you again for your observations-they help us improve and deliver more accurate content.
