Medium and large buildings have a total installed capacity potential of 386 GW and energy generation potential of 506 TWh/year, approximately 35% of the total technical potential of rooftop PV. The total national technical potential of rooftop PV is 1,118 GW of installed capacity and 1,432 TWh of annual energy generation.
By leveraging advanced Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology and 3D models, precise and dependable estimates of PV generation potential on rooftops can be obtained [16, 17].
This report quantifies the technical potential of photovoltaic (PV) systems deployed on rooftops in the continental United States, estimating how much energy could be generated by installing PV on all suitable roof area.
We assumed that the estimated building footprint is representative of the available rooftop area in each FN i.e., 100% of the estimated rooftop is available for solar panel installation. To install 1 kWp of roof-mounted solar PV, 10 m 2 of rooftop area is required, which is in line with the thin film technology currently in use.
In , the authors present a methodology for assessing solar irradiance resources and PV integration potential in residential buildings across different climatic zones in China. The findings underscore rooftops as the primary choice for integrated PV system installation (BIPV).
However, optimizing the placement of PV panels on rooftops remains a complex task due to factors like building shape, location, and the surrounding environment. This study introduces the Roof-Solar-Max methodology, which aims to maximize the placement of PV panels on urban rooftops while avoiding shading and panel overlap.
