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.
Our study also reveals that rooftop photovoltaic solar panels significantly alter urban surface energy budgets, near-surface meteorological fields, urban boundary layer dynamics and sea breeze circulations.
Rooftop solar photovoltaics involve laying photovoltaic solar panels on rooftops without utilizing additional land resources. This not only enhances land utilization but also effectively supports urban electricity consumption.
Changes in underlying surfaces are likely to affect local climate. 25,26,27 The large-scale deployment of rooftop solar photovoltaics will alter the energy balance and turbulent exchange processes of existing rooftops, thereby affecting the urban climate.
