The proliferation of renewable energy sources to achieve carbon neutrality has rapidly increased the adoption of photovoltaic (PV) systems. Consequently, specialized solar PV systems have emerged for various installation purposes. This study focuses on grid connecting vertically installed bifacial PV modules facing east and west by establishing a test bed within Republic of Korea. Based on weather and generation data collected in Republic of Korea, located in the middle of latitude 34.98° N, from January to July 2023, we analyzed and compared the generation patterns, peak generation, peak hours, and total generation of conventional and vertical PV systems. Moreover, PVsyst was used to model the solar PV generation and analyze the consistency and viability of vertical PV generation by comparing actual operational data with simulation results. The vertical PV system demonstrated a peak power generation of 89.1% compared with the conventional PV system with bifacial modules. Based on operational data from January to July, the power generation output of the vertical PV system decreased to 65.7% compared with that of the conventional system with bifacial modules. This corresponded to 78.8% to 80.2% based on the PVsyst simulation results. In particular, the investigations related to the peak generation levels and occurrence times of vertical PV systems provide insights into the practicality of vertical solar PV systems and their potential for improving the PV hosting capacity.
