It is observed that areas with sufficient rooftop PV capacities have moderate to inferior PV efficiency (CF ≤ 0.14), while building roof resources are scare in areas with high PV efficiency (CF close to 0.20). Such spatial inconsistency between roof resources and solar resources somehow reduces the electricity generation of rooftop PVs in China.
For example, the Chinese government launched a program to promote rooftop PV development by county and selected 676 counties as pilots in 2021 ; the European Commission announced a mandate for rooftop solar on commercial and public buildings by 2027, and for residential buildings by 2029 .
It begins by mapping the spatial distribution and temporal variation of rooftop PV potential, then simulating electricity dispatch to understand the penetration-curtailment nexus under various scenarios. Finally, multi-objective optimization method is used to design the optimal scale and layout of rooftop PV development for each regional grid.
These issues include problems connecting solar to electrical grids, equipment shortages, supply chain delays, a lack of land for commercial solar arrays, and a lack of qualified contractors and laborers to meet installation demands.
A framework is established for optimizing the scale and layout of rooftop photovoltaics. Energy storage and load shifting support significantly larger development scales. Scale and layout should be optimized to account for regional load differences. At least 90% grid flexibility 8–12 h of storage capacity are necessary in China.
Solar power users need other power sources to use after sunset, and utilities cannot rely on solar alone to provide electricity for their customers. One solution is to capture extra energy during the daytime and store it. However, storage issues are common. Batteries add to the cost of solar installation.

Optimal planning and modelling of the solar roof-top PV
For both the 2 kW and 3 kW on-grid solar PV systems, the configurations without battery storage sell more energy and incur a lower energy charge compared to those with battery storage under the 30% policy incentive. This suggests that while battery storage can provide benefits like energy independence and backup power, it may lead to higher energy …
