The research and development of a scientific and feasible system for evaluating the potential of rooftop solar distributed photovoltaic utilization will help to better utilize solar energy, solve the urban energy crisis, and reduce the dependence of buildings on mineral energy.
Rooftop solar energy potential has traditionally been estimated by surveying the number of large buildings in a given area. In this work, we propose a fast and
The assessment of rooftop solar potential is vital for optimal photovoltaic (PV) system placement and renewable energy policy in dense urban areas. Complex shading from buildings and diverse rooftop obstacles have posed significant challenges to this evaluation.
Studies which estimated rooftop PV potential covering a large region usually only took into account rooftop area, but the roof morphology was neglected; however, the modeling of roof structure is necessary for the precise evaluation of solar power potential, since the received solar radiation on the rooftop is diverse for different azimuths.
Gernaat et al. (2020) estimated that the global suitable roof area for PV generation was 36 billion square meters. This represents a potential of 8.3 PWh/y, which is equivalent to 150% of the global residential electricity demand in 2015. This demonstrates the potential of replacing traditional electricity sources with rooftop PVs.
The power generation potential for rooftop solar PV in the residential sector was explored in 13 major cities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia [ 33 ]. When the PV design, local building construction, and cultural practices were considered, the estimated 51 TWh of annual electricity generation could satisfy 30% of the total national demand [ 33 ].
