Free QuoteMay 2020, 1 (2): 021001 (7 pages) Photovoltaic (PV) panels are commonly used for on-site generation of electricity in urban environments, specifically on rooftops. However, their implementation on rooftops poses potential (positive and negative) impacts on the heating and cooling energy demand of buildings, and on the surrounding urban climate.
Rooftop photovoltaic panels can serve as external shading devices on buildings, effectively reducing indoor heat gain caused by sunlight. This paper uses a numerical model to analyze rooftop photovoltaic panels' thermal conduction, convection, and radiation in hot summer areas as shading devices.
The study analyzed the impact of natural convection, roof energy balance disrupted by panels, and comprehensive conversion efficiency affected by temperature on two photovoltaic roof designs and compared them with a traditional roof.
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.
Energy fluxes on photovoltaic green roof are investigated and modelled in detail. Longwave radiation of photovoltaics significantly impacts energy balance. Shading and view factor calculation in 3D is developed and shared. Parametric model for photovoltaic green roof surface temperature is developed.
Finally, a quantitative method for evaluating the comprehensive potential for energy savings is proposed, considering the electricity generation gain of photovoltaic panels and the comprehensive energy-saving efficiency of photovoltaic roofs, which generates a total potential for energy savings rate of 61.06%.
