•Rooftop Photovoltaic systems have a lower environmental impact than Grid/Load systems. In response to global environmental concerns and rising energy demands, this study evaluates photovoltaic (PV) technologies for designing efficient building rooftop PV systems and promoting sustainable energy integration.
In this study, the sensitivity analysis of the rooftop PV system is conducted by evaluating the variability and impact of different system configurations and PV materials on energy performance, economic outcomes, and environmental benefits.
These values show that although a poor on-site use of the generated energy is achieved, almost half the electricity consumption is covered by the Rooftop PV. Nevertheless, these values show a poor matching between consumption and photovoltaic generation profiles and a lower photovoltaic array power should have been considered.
