...Habeeb Alasadi; Jun-Ki Choi; Rydge B. Mulford Photovoltaic panels (PVs) installed on building rooftops yield a positive influence on the thermal performance of the building due to the shading of the PV panels, decreasing cooling loads while causing a smaller increase in heating loads. Additionally...
