Especially the residential buildings, which occupy the main part of a city, have a great potential to utilize the solar resources on building surfaces (Limin et al., 2017). However, the diversity of residential buildings and complexity of urban environments make it difficult to efficiently utilize solar energy.
The characteristics analysis was conducted to illustrate the distribution of solar energy potential for building surfaces. Then, the quantitative analysis was presented to provide the PV utilization strategies for residential building roofs and facades in different block environments. The main conclusions can be drawn as follows:
The use of solar energy has great potential for promoting energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of energy consumption in buildings. This study examines the applications of photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies in the field of architecture, demonstrating the huge potential of solar energy in building applications.
The massive solutions regarding the PV utilization strategies can be applied for residential buildings in diverse urban environments, which can adapt to the widespread use of solar technology in urban buildings and promote the Carbon Neutral of cities.
With the accelerated urbanization and economic development in China, urban housing is becoming larger and larger, and the number of available building roofs will increase. At the same time, technological progress has brought about a lower threshold standard, providing the possibility of using solar energy for residential façades.
Due to the significant role that buildings play in overall energy consumption, the application and promotion of solar building systems contribute to the solution of energy and environmental problems. The following conclusions have been drawn.
