Gernaat et al. (2020) estimated that the global suitable roof area for PV generation was 36 billion square meters. This represents a potential of 8.3 PWh/y, which is equivalent to 150% of the global residential electricity demand in 2015. This demonstrates the potential of replacing traditional electricity sources with rooftop PVs.
But there remains a substantial amount of work to be done to accelerate the deployment of rooftop solar PV to reach the current National target of 3 GW to 5 GW per year of new capacity set by the 10-year Energy Programme Decree (PPE).
Their incorporation into building roofs remains hampered by the inherent optical and thermal properties of commercial solar cells, as well as by esthetic, economic, and social constraints. This study reviews research publications on rooftop photovoltaic systems from building to city scale.
Shrestha and Raut (2020) assessed the technical, financial, and market potential of the rooftop PV system on residential buildings in three major cities of Nepal through a field survey instead of simulation, and the results showed that 35% of the city's annual electricity consumption could be covered by solar power.
Rooftop PVs are important solar resources, particularly at the city level [4, 5]. However, the pathway to achieve the PV installation goal remains unclear. The economic status and trends of rooftop PVs at the city level are valuable information for policymakers in implementing the target.
This is assuming that 60% of public buildings are suitable and fall under the scope of the EU Solar Rooftop Standard. The EPBD will tap into the vast potential of rooftops, estimated at 560 GW by the EU Joint Research Centre earlier this year.

Solar Rooftop PV Power Generation for a Commercial Building
The target of solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant and rooftop power system is 12,139 MWp, a double capacity of the AEDP2015. It is remarkably that the PV floating system started in the AEDP2018 to achieve its target of 2,725 MWp. On the other hand, the target of solar heat consumption is downward to 100 ktoe. Based on the solar energy status, as shown in Table
