The results show that current global rooftop potential is 1.5 times the residential electricity demand. The market penetration of rooftop solar PV is much more dependent on socio-economic and policy factors than on the biophysical potential. Several aspects require further discussion.
We have published research by the UCL Energy Institute into the true potential for meeting our energy needs if we made full use of the rooftop space available for solar panels across the country.
Scenarios show key role for rooftop PV but regional characteristics crucial. Income levels and grid electricity prices dominate regional deployment. Low-irradiation western Europe better than high-irradiation Middle East. The use of solar photovoltaic has strongly increased in the last decade.
This study estimates global technical and economic rooftop PV potential and performs a long-term scenario assessment with a broad range of regional factors, going beyond earlier scenario analysis that focused mainly on utility-scale PV. The results show that current global rooftop potential is 1.5 times the residential electricity demand.
Donate to CPRE. Rallying the public in support of rooftop solar and encouraging politicians to do more to ensure we are making the most efficient use of our land by generating electricity from roofs while sparing space for nature will be expensive and time consuming.
Calculations on NUTS2 level show that if the suitable rooftop area is used for PV generation this could result in more than 680 and up to 1,500TWh of electricity generation depending on different assumptions of other competing rooftop uses [11,12] (Figure 1).
