Cooling effect of rooftop solar power generation
Photovoltaic (PV) panels installed on building rooftops yield a positive influence on the thermal performance of the building due to the shading of the PV panels, decreasing cooling loads while causing a smaller increase in heating loads. . Using Lyon as a case study, an international research team has simulated the effects of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) coverage in an urban area at three levels: 25%, 60%, and 100%. The results have shown that solar panels can raise daytime temperatures by up to 0. Applying a simulation. . In their paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the group describes how they used a variety of tools to calculate global rooftop space and how much electricity could be produced if all that area was covered and the possible impact of doing so. In this new effort, the researchers. .Read More Download PDF
