Abstract
This paper proposes a concept for a bifacial solar photovoltaic panel-based energy harvesting
device for university residences and coastal areas, as well as software simulations. The rooftop of
the Islamic University of Technology's (IUT) North Hall of Residence and Cox's bazar's marine
drive road are being considered as potential locations for the proposed scheme. The PVSOL
software is used to build a 3D model of the sites. The monthly energy output is calculated using
three software programs: PVSOL, PVsyst, and System Advisor Model (SAM). In addition, the
monthly consumption of the residence is tabulated and shown graphically. The efficiency of each
software is assessed, and a deviation analysis is carried out to gain a better understanding of solar
energy harvesting. Hence, a cost-effective and self-reliant solar energy model for the rooftop of a
university residence and coastal area is proposed by utilizing bifacial solar PV panels efficiently
to provide a eco-friendly alternative sources of energy in challenging places.
