Rooftop microclimate

A transient multiphysics modeling framework for microclimate in photovoltaic-integrated green roofs

Rooftop photovoltaic (RPV) systems can increase local temperatures and reduce module efficiency due to high solar absorption, whereas photovoltaic-integrated green roofs (PVIGR) can mitigate these thermal effects through their vegetated layers. Given …

High temporal-resolution microclimate and photovoltaic power dataset for sustainable rooftop design in subtropical humid city

This paper presents a high resolution microclimate monitoring dataset designed to explore rooftop microclimate responses to different rooftop configurations within a subtropical humid campus setting. The dataset comprises measurements from seven …

Comparing designs for photovoltaic-green roofs: A year-long field study in a subtropical climate

Photovoltaic-green roof systems combine solar energy generation with environmental co-benefits, yet their long-term performance under real-world conditions remains underexplored. Here we quantify system performance using a year-long, large-scale …
