New research shows photovoltaic solar panels may increase temperatures on hot days and lower them at night .
In a scenario with complete coverage of rooftops with conventional solar panels, the urban temperature could increase in the day up to 1.5C during peak summer periods and decrease at nighttime up to 0.6C.
The findings don't suggest that PVs aren't an important renewable energy solution in the transition away from fossil fuels.
High reflective cool roof materials that bounce heat rather than absorb heat could also be used to boost the energy production of nearby RPVSPs.
Adding other heat sinks such as rooftop greenery can also improve PV efficiency.
Combining PVs with green roofs or cool roofs can increase the capacity of PVs by up to 67% and significantly reduce surface temperatures.
