Solar photovoltaic (PV) roofs play a significant role in the utilization of renewable energy in buildings. This cluster, the largest among all, comprises 51 documents and is primarily associated with the keywords renewable energy, building envelope, passive design, tropical developing country, and domestic residential power.
The roof-mounted solar PV is installed at the optimum angle for each latitude and is sun-facing and shade-free to generate maximum electricity output. The building rooftops are flat in design leading to the utilization of the entire rooftop for the installation of solar panels.
Rooftop solar PV is a valuable addition to other renewable-energy sources, like open-field PV, as it utilizes existing infrastructure, reduces land consumption, and supplies electricity where it is needed. An accurate assessment of the rooftop solar PV potential is essential for efficient and sustainable resource use.
Due to the spatiotemporal variability in the solar radiation on roof surfaces, it is essential to determine the potentials of the rooftop photovoltaics and its variations in specific regions. In Germany, this potential was assessed in 5 km × 5 km zones, as well as at the federal-state and national levels.
Furthermore, roofs are often unobstructed for solar radiation and freely available. Thus, rooftop solar PV (RTPV) undoubtedly represents an appealing solution to provide significant renewable energy generation and fulfil the building energy needs for both new and existing buildings .
The large-scale deployment of rooftop solar photovoltaics will alter the energy balance and turbulent exchange processes of existing rooftops, thereby affecting the urban climate.
