Gernaat et al. (2020) estimated that the global suitable roof area for PV generation was 36 billion square meters. This represents a potential of 8.3 PWh/y, which is equivalent to 150% of the global residential electricity demand in 2015. This demonstrates the potential of replacing traditional electricity sources with rooftop PVs.
Their incorporation into building roofs remains hampered by the inherent optical and thermal properties of commercial solar cells, as well as by esthetic, economic, and social constraints. This study reviews research publications on rooftop photovoltaic systems from building to city scale.
Rooftop solar O&M has numerous issues not associated with ground mounted O&M work. Most obviously, workers are op rating above ground, and so there is a risk of injury from falls and other access A key issue is therefore how workers access and operate on rooftop solar systems. This section provides an in
Shrestha and Raut (2020) assessed the technical, financial, and market potential of the rooftop PV system on residential buildings in three major cities of Nepal through a field survey instead of simulation, and the results showed that 35% of the city's annual electricity consumption could be covered by solar power.
The unique properties of roofs, such as good sunlight incidence, good ventilation conditions, no redundant shielding, and flexible tilt angle for PV panels, are advantageous for solar energy harvesting. Accordingly, roofs present the highest efficiency potential for PV generation systems in buildings (Lin et al., 2014).
