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.
Solar photovoltaic roofs are a clean energy technology that does not produce greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, making them environmentally friendly; thus, publications in the green sustainable science discipline rank second.
Photovoltaic panel installations in roofs with different formats. PV modules can be placed horizontally or at an angle on flat roofs (Bayod-Rujula et al., 2011). In sloped roofs, PV modules are generally applied at the same inclination angle as the roof, and placed in parallel to increase the system efficiency.
Accordingly, roofs present the highest efficiency potential for PV generation systems in buildings (Lin et al., 2014). However, the impact of roof equipment (e.g., water tanks, central air conditioning units, ventilation equipment, communication signal base station) and their shadow must also be considered.
