Rooftop photovoltaic (RPV) systems offer a viable solution for urban energy transition by utilizing idle rooftop space and meeting decentralized energy needs.
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.
The study revealed that areas with abundant solar energy resources and higher electricity prices have a lower economic risk for rooftop PV system construction under the current subsidy price and cost. This finding provides valuable insights and serves as a reference for constructing rooftop PV systems in different regions of China.
Rooftop photovoltaics (RPVs) are crucial in achieving energy transition and climate goals, especially in cities with high building density and substantial energy consumption. Estimating RPV carbon mitigation potential at the city level of an entire large country is challenging given difficulties in assessing rooftop area.
Rooftop photovoltaic (RPV) systems can be deployed on various buildings, contributing considerable power generation potential through intensive small-scale installations . Additionally, RPV systems can be directly connected to energy consumers, effectively accommodating the increasingly decentralized energy demand .
