Shading analysis is a very crucial step in finalizing panel locations in distributed Photo Voltaic (PV) solar installation. The extent of the rooftop area required by a solar PV plant is a factor of panel efficiency and extent of shading. Any kind of shading is detrimental to the performance of the entire solar PV plant.
The coupled heat transfer process of rooftop photovoltaic shading units and indoor heat gain are analyzed. The energy-saving potential of photovoltaic rooftops compared to traditional rooftops is revealed. The energy-saving performance of photovoltaic and traditional rooftops under different roof reflectivity are summarized.
Any kind of shading is detrimental to the performance of the entire solar PV plant. Solar panels are mostly arranged in strings to meet voltage requirements. A shade in one panel not only reduces the efficiency of that panel but cuts short supply from entire string.
It was also found that the roof with PV panels has a shading effect on radiation under direct sunlight, and the ground is not directly affected by the radiation, so the difference in heat entering the indoor space for roofs with different reflectivity is smaller than for traditional roofs due to the PV panels.
Rooftop photovoltaic panels can serve as external shading devices on buildings, effectively reducing indoor heat gain caused by sunlight. This paper uses a numerical model to analyze rooftop photovoltaic panels' thermal conduction, convection, and radiation in hot summer areas as shading devices.
A shading factor was introduced by several researchers to identify the ideal configuration of photovoltaic panels for a particular installation area. The study highlighted that panel shading significantly impacts determining the ideal photovoltaic configuration.
