    Abstract: A photovoltaic system, and an assembly method, for maximizing electric power production during low solar elevation angles, including at least a bifacial photovoltaic module, disposed on a substantially vertical first plane, mounted on a structural support and placed substantially facing the east on one side and the west on the other side, and at least two specular or metallic reflectors facing each side of the bifacial photovoltaic module at an angle of 73°±20° relative to the vertical. The reflectors are shaped or structured so that a fraction of the sun-light incident along a direction that is parallel to the photovoltaic module is redirected towards the photovoltaic module, thus maximizing the electric power production for conditions of low solar elevation such as winter, early morning and late afternoon, and protecting the photovoltaic module from overheating during noon and summer.
