Upgrade your news experience today! RIGA, Jan 21 (LETA) - In 2021, Latvia generated 5,609 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electric power, which is an increase of 1.8 percent against 2020, according to an electricity market review released by Augstsprieguma Tikls transmission system operator.
Latvia could achieve considerable energy savings by renovating its building stock. Latvia holds considerable potential to accelerate energy efficiency outcomes in the buildings sector, which will go a long way toward meeting climate targets and lowering energy bills.
Overall, Latvia has made considerable progress in unlinking its energy dependency from Russian imports in a short period of time, including by imposing bans on the import of electricity and natural gas from Russia in 2023. The government is also changing its storage model for oil reserves to further fortify its oil security.

Bifacial solar photovoltaics (PV) is a promising mature technology that increases the production of electricity per square meter of PV module through the use of light absorption from the albedo. This review describe. . Bifacial solar cells simultaneously collect photons from incident and albedo radiation. . 2.1. Silicon substratesThe first substrates for bifacial solar cells were produced from monocrystalline silicon more than 40 years ago [2]. Also substrates of multicrystallin. . 3.1. Module design and encapsulationThe bifacial solar cells can be encapsulated in monofacial or bifacial module configurations [9], [100]. As no full back metallic contacts. . The performance of bifacial solar cells and modules is difficult to measure due to external contributions from side and light reflections to the rear side [119] that can increase the exte. . 5.1. Bifacial concentratorsBifacial solar cells traditionally score well with respect to other types of cells in terms of expected cost of energy from PV concentrators [12. [pdf]
The application of bifacial PV technology for an agrovoltaic system is being researched [119–122], with countries already deploying the system [123, 124]. Bifacial PV modules are also being explored for the emerging floating PV technology.
After that, Sunpreme installed their SHJ (Silicon HeteroJunction) modules in a 10 MWp bifacial system on a US industrial rooftop, and large bifacial systems were installed in China in the TopRunner program, where the Chinese Government was supporting innovations to be introduced into the market.
MWT configuration has been tested for bifacial solar cells to avoid shading losses on the front side of a solar cell and to reduce interconnection resistance losses of modules compared to the traditional double-side contacted busbar-H-pattern, reaching efficiency gains of ~0.3% absolute .
Introduction Bifacial solar cells simultaneously collect photons from incident and albedo radiation reaching both the front side and backside of a solar module. Monofacial solar cells only collect photons reaching the front side of the device.
The concept was introduced as a means of increasing the energy output in solar cells. Efficiency of solar cells, defined as the ratio of incident luminous power to generated electrical power under one or several suns (1 sun = 1000W/m 2 ), is measured independently for the front and rear surfaces for bifacial solar cells.
Nowadays, there are some regulatory gaps regarding bifacial technology and, due to this growing trend, it is necessary to study, research and implement the optimal way to evaluate these systems.

The test of research in renewable energy microgeneration technology is the lucky combination of efficiency and urban integration. Indeed, the application field with the biggest potential is within cities where the number of small consumers is concentrated. Obviously, in this context, the acceptance of people. . This novel hybrid street light is constituted of three main sub-structures:The structural concept has followed an evolution over the time of the Generator project, led by economic considerations. . The selected wind turbines for this renewable energy system are Savonius rotors, which take their name from their Finnish inventor (1925). They consist of VAWTs based. . The prototype resulting from this project consists of one of the very first wind–solar energy street-lighting systems. The main innovative feature is the full integration of VAWT Savonius rotor along the structure of the lamp-post. This. [pdf]
This paper presents the design and implementation of a wind-solar hybrid power system for LED street lighting and an isolated power system. The proposed system consists of photovoltaic modules, a wind generator, a storage system (battery), LED lighting, and the controller, which can manage the power and system operation.

The wind- solar hybrid system is a complementary by using wind and solar energy resources. It price. It has a very good application prospect. It is well known that traditional non- renewable energy sources (such as coal and oil) will run out in the end. Electric ener- gy is mainly relying on hydroelectric and thermal power. While the new energy
Wind-solar hybrid streetlight working principle is: The systems use natural wind and solar energy as power. Wind wheel absorbs the wind energy to make the wind generator rotating, making the wind energy into electrical energy. Electric cur- rent by the voltage stabilizing effect. Then electric power will charge the battery pack,
With a PV generator global efficiency up to 15%, the met lighting time would be nearly 73%.
