This design not only maximizes energy efficiency but also enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of a property. Unlike traditional solar panel installations that sit on top of existing roofs, solar type roof designs incorporate solar technology directly into the roofing material itself.
As the world increasingly shifts toward sustainable energy solutions, the importance of solar energy cannot be overstated. Among the various ways to harness solar power, one of the most effective and aesthetically pleasing options is the solar type roof design.
A comprehensive analysis of research on solar PV roofs reveals that integrating PV components with building elements (roofs, sunshades, and louvers) is a common form in practical applications. The design challenge lies in finding a balance between the original functionality of the components and the added photovoltaic performance.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) roofs play a significant role in the utilization of renewable energy in buildings. This cluster, the largest among all, comprises 51 documents and is primarily associated with the keywords renewable energy, building envelope, passive design, tropical developing country, and domestic residential power.
This indicates that research on solar photovoltaic roofs primarily focuses on assessing the performance of photovoltaic systems, including evaluations of power output, economic benefits, and environmental impacts.
Zheng and Weng tested the potential mitigative effects of green roofs and photovoltaic systems on the increased building energy demand caused by climate change in Los Angeles County, California.
