The results show the high impact of PV panels on the shaded roof surface temperature reducing the daily cooling energy and peak load in summer. This positive cooling effect increases in poor insulated and high-reflectivity buildings (V. C. Kapsalis, Vardoulakis, & Karamanis, 2014 ).
As the first type of the studies mentioned above, the shading effect of rooftop PV panels on energy consumption and thermal performance of buildings have been investigated in several studies. For instance, the effect of four different roofs was assessed on the building's thermal loads.
The shading effect of the photovoltaic panels makes the roof temperature in the shading area higher than that in the unshaded area. This is because the photovoltaic panels store a certain amount of heat during the day when the irradiation is abundant, radiating heat with the shading area at night, causing its temperature to rise.
Rooftop photovoltaic panels can serve as external shading devices on buildings, effectively reducing indoor heat gain caused by sunlight. This paper uses a numerical model to analyze rooftop photovoltaic panels' thermal conduction, convection, and radiation in hot summer areas as shading devices.
Indirect benefits of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems for building insulation are quantified through measurements and modeling. Measurements of the thermal conditions throughout a roof profile on a building partially covered by solar photovoltaic (PV) panels were conducted in San Diego, California.
Using the TRNSYS engine, two types of roofs with and without integrated PV panels are evaluated with various R- values and three different albedos. The results show the high impact of PV panels on the shaded roof surface temperature reducing the daily cooling energy and peak load in summer.
