The installation of 1.85 MWp solar rooftop PV power generation system at the commercial building in this study is technical and economic approved. Using solar energy is sustained for energy efficiency. In the first year, the project achieved energy production of 2,678 MWh resulting in energy cost saving of 269,317 USD.
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.
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.
The energy-saving performance of photovoltaic and traditional rooftops under different roof reflectivity are summarized. The impact of the optimal tilt angle on the power generation of the photovoltaic rooftop are discussed. An energy-saving scheme for applying rooftop photovoltaic systems in hot summer areas is proposed.
As a result, the energy cost saving was 269,317 USD with payback period (PB), net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR) of 6.37 years, 1,062,430 USD, and 15%, respectively. In conclusion, the installation of 1.85 MWp solar rooftop PV power generation system is technically feasible for the investment.
It is notably observed that the installation of solar PV power system on the rooftop of commercial and residential buildings has continuously increased in terms of the energy efficiency improvement and building space utilization in electricity generation.

Well, most residential solar systems have to be connected to the grid to provide power, according to current interconnection standards. So if a storm or a cyberattack disrupts the grid, your power gets disrupted too. Now, energy storage batteries or generators can bring your solar electricity back online, but they can be costly. Portable and ...

Rooftop photovoltaic energy systems are globally recognized as crucial elements for the implementation of renewable energy in buildings, as they act as generators within the framework of smart cities.
The only difference in the recommendations is that for rooftop solar power plants it is inappropriate to use bifacial PV modules, which allow for additional generation due to the absorption of sunlight from both the front and back sides. In ground-based plants, this type of module can increase generation by 6-9%, but in rooftop PV plants, the distance for sunlight to …
