Rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems reduce reliance on fossil fuels but may unintentionally exacerbate urban heat. This study investigates the competing thermal effects of rooftop PV –microclimate warming versus panel shading through environmental …
Previous studies examining the impact of large-scale photovoltaic (PV) roofs on urban heat islands (UHI) have reported inconsistencies, primarily due to reliance on simulations without robust experimental validation. This study addresses this gap …
