TY - JOUR T1 - Enhancing the Productivity of Bifacial Solar Panel System: The Impact of Battery Integration and Hybrid Inverter on Energy Cost Reduction TT - Enhancing the Productivity of Bifacial Solar Panel System: The Impact of Battery Integration and Hybrid Inverter on Energy Cost Reduction AU - Zabala, Lloyd Russel AU - Alce, Justin John AU - Castidades, Allen AU - Celso, Chandrei AU - Evaristo, Jhimuel AU - Santos, Edgardo Y2 - 2025 DO - 10.53525/jster.1725317 JF - Journal of Science, Technology and Engineering Research JO - Journal of Science, Technology and Engineering Research PB - Mehmet BULUT WT - DergiPark SN - 2717-8404 SP - 78 EP - 92 VL - 6 IS - 2 LA - en AB - Solar panels, also referred to as photovoltaic solar panels, can now be used by every consumer and distribution company to help keep up with the fast demand for electricity. Where to introduce the solar panel: An alternative way to mitigate the rise in electricity consumption is for the researchers to provide the answer that is in the solar panel introduction. It was improved and improved over the years until another company used other materials to make power. This study addresses the 10-565W Bifacial Monocrystalline Photovoltaic solar module installed in Santo. Nino Candaba, Pampanga, in terms of energy saving, solar energy harvesting efficiency, and return-on-investment period. In this work, the contrast of a bifacial monocrystalline PV solar panel is also studied up to the point of absence of battery (limiter only) and with a battery installation (limiter and battery). The result demonstrates that the implementation of a battery can also offer benefits to the home and the utility to store and reduce electricity. Therefore, the battery installation shouldn't be for the show so that the solar panel can be used more effectively and efficiently. They thus make it possible to stock energy created in the bright sun for use at night or when demand for power is high. Hence, optimal incorporation of battery systems not only increases the efficiency of the whole solar energy system but also encourages more energy self-sufficient use.
