How to simulate spatially varying albedo

This video demonstrates how to simulate spatially varying albedo in SunSolve-Yield, using a bifacial module on a single-axis tracker as an example. It shows how to model different ground surfaces—such as grass, gravel, or soil—by adding custom objects with specific reflective properties. The tutorial walks through setting up a baseline with uniform albedo, creating reflective stripes beneath the array, adjusting material properties, and comparing the impact on rear-side current using high-resolution, five-minute weather data. The approach helps capture the real-world effects of non-uniform ground reflectivity on PV system performance.
