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.
Shrestha and Raut (2020) assessed the technical, financial, and market potential of the rooftop PV system on residential buildings in three major cities of Nepal through a field survey instead of simulation, and the results showed that 35% of the city's annual electricity consumption could be covered by solar power.
Continuous research and development of PV materials has led to highly efficient solutions for rooftop PV promotion, including the reduction of production costs, improvement of building integration, higher cell efficiency, and flexibility for placement in uneven building surfaces.
Building PV generation systems can be applied on roofs (Kumar et al., 2018) and/or facades (Quesada et al., 2012), and the installed PV generation system can share the grid load. There are various types of building loads for different functions, such as cooling, heating, annual electricity demand, air demand, and illumination.
Public buildings are the main applications of PV roofs. The roof shape greatly influences the design of the PV system. The selection of BIPV or BAPV and of PV cell materials should be based on local characteristics.
