Despite the city's subtropical climate and abundant solar energy resources, along with numerous buildings with potential for PV power generation, architects remain cautious about adopting extensive PV panels on the facades of high-rise buildings.
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.
An integrative method supports façade integrated PVs design for high-rise. The interior daylight is optimized together with balcony design and arrangement. The façade aesthetic quality is supported by design experts and non-experts. High performance of energy production and GHG emission reduction is achieved.
Lower-density homes with solar roofs are not a new phenomenon; however, recent technological advances give builders and architects the option of adopting green initiatives without compromising a home’s design. Solar Roof systems come in a range of UV-stable, fade-resistant colors and patterns in keeping with design needs.
The unique properties of roofs, such as good sunlight incidence, good ventilation conditions, no redundant shielding, and flexible tilt angle for PV panels, are advantageous for solar energy harvesting. Accordingly, roofs present the highest efficiency potential for PV generation systems in buildings (Lin et al., 2014).
In addition, the solar potential simulations also showed that for 11-floor residential high-rises with side balconies, the total annual solar energy potentials on facades were 3.3–4.8 times of the solar potential on roof areas (with 950 kWh/m 2 year for solar radiation on roof area).
