Rooftop solar power, also known as rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems, refers to solar panels installed on residential or commercial building rooftops to generate electricity. These systems convert sunlight directly into electrical energy through photovoltaic cells, providing clean, renewable power for your home or business.
Rooftop solar power has transformed from a niche technology into a mainstream energy solution, with over 4.4 million American homes now powered by solar panels. As we enter 2025, technological advances, improved financing options, and strong federal incentives have made rooftop solar more accessible and cost-effective than ever before.
Rooftop solar power represents one of the most impactful decisions homeowners can make for their finances, energy independence, and environmental impact. With 2025 bringing continued cost reductions, technological improvements, and strong federal incentives, the value proposition for rooftop solar has never been stronger.
Their incorporation into building roofs remains hampered by the inherent optical and thermal properties of commercial solar cells, as well as by esthetic, economic, and social constraints. This study reviews research publications on rooftop photovoltaic systems from building to city scale.
