After the expiration of governmental incentive measures for renewable energy sources integration, economic feasibility of investing into solar power plants will highly depend on compatibility between production and variable prices. In order to achieve the maximum possible profit of the power plant in liberalized electricity market, it is necessary to consider the possibility of investing in solutions that are not common today, but with the potential of being more profitable in the future. Such a solution is a solar power plant consisting of vertically placed bifacial modules whose active surfaces are oriented in the east-west direction. This configuration of the power plant can achieve higher production in periods of high prices, and thus higher profits from the sale of electricity. On the other hand, such a solution is more expensive than a standard solar power plant with monofacial modules. In this paper, a comparison of return on investment in a bifacial power plant and a monofacial power plant with existing and prospective market conditions is performed. The influence of solar power plant production on the price of electricity was investigated on the example of Germany. Based on this research, a prognostic model of the daily price diagram on the unified European market until 2040 was formed. It served for the analysis of the profitability of investments in the two considered variants of the solar power plant realization.
