Consequently solar PV has indirect effects on roof heat transfer. The effect of rooftop PV systems on the building roof and indoor energy balance as well as their economic impacts on building HVAC costs have not been investigated. Roof calculator models currently do not account for rooftop modifications such as PV arrays.
Building Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is a major contributor to urban energy use. In single story buildings with large surface area such as warehouses most of the heat enters through the roof. A rooftop ‘modification’ that has not been examined experimentally is solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays.
Peak roof heat flux into the building envelope is 63% lower under the tilted PV array. Rooftop PV contributes to a more comfortable environment in this particular non-ventilated building. The qualitative results of less roof heat flux in buildings with PV arrays should be easily reproducible.
Interior ceiling surface temperatures are up to 2.5 oC cooler under a tilted PV array than the exposed roof during peak energy use hours. Peak roof heat flux into the building envelope is 63% lower under the tilted PV array. Rooftop PV contributes to a more comfortable environment in this particular non-ventilated building.
