What is Urban Solar Energy ?
Main characteristics:
• Large scale utilisation of solar energy in built environments to provide
a major share of the community’s energy through solar power;
• Satisfying different forms of energy needs with solar energy (hot
water, space heat, space cooling, electricity) to provide comfort;
• Integration of solar energy technologies into buildings and building
elements to provide an aesthetically attractive environment;
• Optimal interfacing of solar with other energy systems to provide
maximum benefits and full sustainability.
