The necessity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet the global warming regulations has increased the demand for renewable energy sources; unlike power generation from fossil fuels, renewables have relatively low geographic density and they’re unpredictable. Solar energy deployment is gaining greater attention and it’s a technically and economically feasible solution as a sustainable alternative that might alleviate aspects of the current climate crisis, especially in cities, where it is crucial to promote the use of solar technologies. The roof surfaces within urban areas are constantly attracting interest as they supply huge potentials for the mitigation strategy to minimize the environmental impact by achieving the sustainable development goals.
