Article Synopsis
- A solar photovoltaic (PV) system is affected by environmental stresses like bird droppings and shading, which cause hotspots and may lead to system failures, particularly in solar roof tiles (SRTs) that lack bypass diodes.
- A study comparing a 1.5 kW SRT system with traditional PV panels showed that SRTs experienced a small energy loss of 1.73% under certain conditions, but both systems faced energy production challenges if a bypass diode failed.
- The findings revealed that SRTs can produce 1871.72 kWh of clean energy annually and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 335.7 kgCO2 equivalent, highlighting their potential for promoting sustainable energy solutions.
