One of the biggest reasons why solar panels are placed on the roof of a house is to reduce the carbon footprint of the home. By using solar power, homeowners significantly decrease their reliance on fossil fuels and lower their overall environmental impact. Let’s explore how solar panels contribute to a greener, more sustainable future. 1.
The shading effect of the photovoltaic panels makes the roof temperature in the shading area higher than that in the unshaded area. This is because the photovoltaic panels store a certain amount of heat during the day when the irradiation is abundant, radiating heat with the shading area at night, causing its temperature to rise.
Finally, a quantitative method for evaluating the comprehensive potential for energy savings is proposed, considering the electricity generation gain of photovoltaic panels and the comprehensive energy-saving efficiency of photovoltaic roofs, which generates a total potential for energy savings rate of 61.06%.
The roof of a house offers the most unobstructed access to sunlight throughout the day. By placing solar panels on the roof of a house, homeowners can ensure that the panels receive the maximum amount of sunlight possible, which is essential for optimal energy production.
At the same time, photovoltaic panels were installed on the roof as a control experiment for the photovoltaic roof. A white insulation material was used on the ground below the panel to eliminate the interference of heat transfer from nearby black roofs on the experimental results.
