Optimizing rooftop solar PV systems in urban regions considering economic and environmental aspects
DownloadFall 2022
In recent years, utilization of photovoltaic (PV) solar systems in built-up regions have received more attention due to global warming issues and the significance of sustainable development. The rooftops of buildings are considered highly suitable for installing PV modules to harvest solar energy...
