The first detailed global assessment of the electricity generation potential of rooftop solar panels has revealed that the total global potential for electricity produced in this way exceeds all the energy used worldwide in 2018.
Gernaat et al. (2020) estimated that the global suitable roof area for PV generation was 36 billion square meters. This represents a potential of 8.3 PWh/y, which is equivalent to 150% of the global residential electricity demand in 2015. This demonstrates the potential of replacing traditional electricity sources with rooftop PVs.
Within a few years, the increase of rooftop solar will have even more dramatic impact, as some states within the NEM are forecast to become net exporters of energy during the middle of the day. This means that rooftop solar and other renewables will meet the generation needs of an entire region.
A rooftop solar power system, or rooftop PV system, is a photovoltaic (PV) system that has its electricity -generating solar panels mounted on the rooftop of a residential or commercial building or structure.
For an individual customer, rooftop solar can help to offset electricity usage during the day, or, when electricity use is small, energy can be exported to the grid at the rate of the customer’s feed in tariff. In aggregate, the impact of rooftop solar is significant in reducing the need for other generation during the day.
The energy-saving performance of photovoltaic and traditional rooftops under different roof reflectivity are summarized. The impact of the optimal tilt angle on the power generation of the photovoltaic rooftop are discussed. An energy-saving scheme for applying rooftop photovoltaic systems in hot summer areas is proposed.
