Potential of residential building integrated photovoltaic systems

In China, multi-family residential buildings can be mainly divided into low-rise (1–3 storeys), multi-storey (4–6 storeys), mid-rise (7–9 storeys) and high-rise (>10 storeys) buildings (Uniform standard for design of civil buildings (GB 50352-2019), 2019). This paper considers the residential buildings of 1 to 15 storeys as the object, basically covering the buildings of

General model of Photovoltaic (PV) integration into existing

Reliance on rooftop PV installations alone, however, is not sufficient to noticeably reduce the dependency on natural gas. Large façade areas of high-rise residential buildings may significantly contribute to PV integration potential in the cityscape [3], [4] despite the fact that the solar potential of façades is more affected by the compactness than is the case with roofs [5], [6].
