As an essential part of urban development, the urban rail transit sector has seen rapid growth in recent years. In alignment with energy-saving and carbon reduction goals, improving energy efficiency in this sector is critical. Elevated metro stations, situated above urban roads with minimal obstructions, present an ideal opportunity for photovoltaic integration. This study investigates the PV potential of Shanghai’s elevated stations through field investigation, numerical simulations and case studies. Taking Shanghai Rail Transit Line 17 as an case study, the photovoltaic application potential of the roof and facade of the elevated station is estimated, the results indicate an annual PV generation of 3.6 million kWh, potentially meeting over 30% of the stations' energy demand.
