Rooftop Solar Can Increase Local Temperature, Says Research
A recent research showed that rooftop solar can raise temperatures during the daytime and lower them at nighttime. These findings were based on a city-wise simulation on photovoltaic

Widespread coverage of building rooftops with conventional photovoltaic solar panels may increase temperatures on hot days and lower them at night, says new modelling.
While photovoltaic (PV) renewable energy production has surged, this may have some effects on the Urban environment of that area. The aim of this paper is to understand the impact of SPV rooftop installation on the Urban thermal environment and temperature profiles in different urban settings in Pune city.
Here we show that, in Kolkata, city-wide installation of these rooftop photovoltaic solar panels could raise daytime temperatures by up to 1.5 °C and potentially lower nighttime temperatures by up to 0.6 °C.
Solar photovoltaic rooftop installation is increasing rapidly in India with a solar target of 100 gigawatts by 2022. While photovoltaic (PV) renewable energy production has surged, this may have some effects on the Urban environment of that area. The aim of this...
