Commercial buildings, however, have not thus far been investigated for their roof utilization for solar PV. The present study aims to explore the prospects of solar PV in commercial buildings in KSA. It thus addresses a major gap in the literature by investigating commercial buildings for their PV utiliazability.
Typically, facades of commercial buildings are characterized by architectural designs and aesthetic features making them virtually unavailable for PV application. Rooftop application of PV is however predominant as it helps to make use of the available space and to maximize the exposure to solar radiation.
Conclusion Commercial buildings are an important part of the building stock in any country. This research aims to investigate the utilizability of commercial building rooftops in KSA for the application of solar PV. The study investigated 105 buildings including 47 shopping malls, 38 office buildings, 15 hotels, and 5 hospitals.
The building sector has been one of the most successful application areas for solar PV. The technology can be applied across all types of buildings i.e. residential, commercial, and industrial. Solar PV can also find success in KSA buildings [8, 10]. In the country, however, thus far, the major focus has been on large and utility-scale projects.
This study evaluates the feasibility of integrating solar energy into high-rise commercial buildings by measuring its effectiveness in reducing their external energy needs and operating
