In this article, we will continue our study on biosolar roofs. Biosolar roofs have become an inspiring system for us because it creates a sustainable place and reduce carbon emissions. This types roofs are different from classic green roofs in that it uses a renewable source of energy, in this case the Sun, and produce electricity that we can supply the building with. What is interesting is that the vegetation stored under the photovoltaic panels can use evaporation to cool the panels and therefore increase their efficiency. We know from the world that biosolar roofs are not so widespread due to implementation factors such as initial costs and limited experimental data. It is very important that new experimental studies be carried out to evaluate the performance of this system in urban areas. Another important factor that should not be forgotten is location of the system. It is necessary to know all climatic conditions before implementing the system. In this article, we will focus on the benefits of this type of roofs and how the system can improve the energy efficiency of photovoltaic panels and reduce CO2 emissions with long-term benefits.
