Effects of Rooftop Photovoltaics on Building Cooling

Abstract. 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. The adverse consequences can
