Rooftop photovoltaic (RPV) systems offer a viable solution for urban energy transition by utilizing idle rooftop space and meeting decentralized energy needs. However, due to limited information on building function attributes, detailed assessments of RPV potential at the city scale are still complicated.
Building Rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems represents a pivotal technology in this transition. By harnessing solar energy through photovoltaic cells, these systems provide a decentralized and renewable energy source.
The choice of photovoltaic (PV) technology—monocrystalline silicon (m-Si), polycrystalline silicon (p-Si), or thin film—plays a critical role in determining the performance and economic viability of rooftop PV systems. Each technology offers distinct advantages and limitations.
