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.
A rooftop solar power system, or rooftop PV system, is a photovoltaic (PV) system that has its electricity -generating solar panels mounted on the rooftop of a residential or commercial building or structure.
A comprehensive analysis of research on solar PV roofs reveals that integrating PV components with building elements (roofs, sunshades, and louvers) is a common form in practical applications. The design challenge lies in finding a balance between the original functionality of the components and the added photovoltaic performance.
Therefore, in the hot summer of Wuhan, cool roofs are more energy-saving than traditional roofs, but when photovoltaic panels are installed, traditional roofs are more energy-saving and have more obvious benefits. PV rooftop installation reduces indoor heat gain and achieves cooling benefits through shading.
