It aims to obtain an expanded understanding of the spatial characteristics of residential solar PVs in an urban area with a multitude of apartment complexes, such as Seoul, South Korea. As the national capital, Seoul leads an effort to expand the generation of renewable energy in South Korea.
In general, the solar potential of residential areas is closely related to the overall solar potential of a research area: the total area of rooftops and facades, the orientation of the facades, and the position of the research building in relation to other buildings and structures in the area.
In the existing literature, for solar energy adoption on the neighborhood scale limited types of buildings are considered (e.g., the neighborhood with apartment buildings only). Also, the impact of energy efficiency measures and solar strategies is considered simultaneously in very few papers.
This goal is attained through a thorough analysis of the solar energy potential across various residential block typologies within the city. In terms of research concepts, this study advances an analytical framework based on the solar energy potential of distinct residential block types.
