CFV has a state-of the art bifacial test yard with 5 rows of Array Technologies single-axis trackers, each with 30 module capacity.

Long test rows give results that correlate much better wth utility scale installations.

Albedo is .30 and well-controlled. GCR is .37.

CFV can accomodate up to 9 different module experiments at a time, and has built custom instrumentation for this purpose.

CFV has a simulated roofdeck in the test yard for evaluating residential technolgies including modules, racking systems, BiPV, shingled PV, and power electronics.

The roof deck is 80 feet long and at 5/12 pitch.

The roofdeck is fully instrumented and can be configured with string inverters, micro-inverters and optimizers. 

High resolution thermocouple and IR data is available.
