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.
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.
How Rooftop Solar Systems Work At the heart of a rooftop solar system are solar panels, which are designed to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. These panels consist of photovoltaic cells, typically made of silicon, which generate a flow of electricity when exposed to sunlight.
As of May 2017, installation of a rooftop solar system costs an average of $20,000. In the past, it had been more expensive. Utility Dive wrote, "For most people, adding a solar system on top of other bills and priorities is a luxury" and "rooftop solar companies by and large cater to the wealthier portions of the American population."
In the quest for sustainable and renewable energy sources, rooftop solar systems have emerged as a shining star, providing a clean and efficient way to harness the power of the sun.
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.

Benefits of Rooftop Solar Panels. Besides the fact that large-scale installations account for nearly 87 per cent of solar power generation in India, the adoption of solar rooftop panels by households is also rising. Between 2013 and 2022, the installed capacity of the solar rooftop increased from 117 MW to 6645 MW as of Mar 2022.
