Abstract: The aim of this article is to present an autonomous power supply solution for small house-type cabins using bifacial photovoltaic (PV) panels as an alternative to diesel generators. A comprehensive review of the construction and components of the autonomous PV system has been made. PVsyst software was utilized to develop a simulation model and analyse the results. The study highlights the efficiency and environmental benefits of bifacial PV panels compared to traditional diesel generators. The simulation results indicate a high energy yield and reliability of the PV system under various weather conditions. Furthermore, the potential for scalability and integration with existing infrastructure was explored. This research underscores the viability of bifacial PV panels as a sustainable and cost-effective power solution for off-grid cabins.
