Therefore, there is a need to investigate the solar energy potential of rooftop PV generation systems to further improve the use of roofs for solar energy production. The research scale of such studies are generally divided into city or building scale. 2.1. City-scale studies
It then calculates that if every suitable roof was used, rooftop solar could generate 19,500 TWh of electricity per year, allowing for fossil fuel-based electricity to be replaced almost entirely, when coupled with load shifting and battery-electric storage.
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.
Among these resources, solar photovoltaics (PV) have experienced rapid growth, reaching a global installed capacity of 710 GWp by the end of 2020 2. Particularly in the residential sector, rooftop PV systems have seen significant adoption as decentralized electricity generators 3.
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.
Covering the world’s rooftops with solar panels could provide 65% of global electricity, according to the findings of new research from the University of Sussex.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023.
