This book frames the concept and explores the various aspects of urban photovoltaics (UPV), with a focus on the multifaceted nature of urban factors that influence PV design and deployment. From a technical perspective, specific urban challenges include limited space and shading from neighbouring structures, as well as the complex interplay between energy generation and consumption patterns from buildings and electric vehicles. From an environmental perspective, the book sheds light on the carbon and material footprint of PV systems, considering their impact on the urban microclimate and interaction with urban vegetation. From a societal perspective, it discusses architectural design and integration, solar neighbourhoods, and the behavioural dynamics elicited by novel energy-sharing concepts, as well as the influence of PV deployment on the housing market. By synthesising these diverse topics, the book serves as a guide for researchers and practitioners involved in urban design, energy planning, PV deployment, and policy making. It addresses the urgent need to optimise land use and conserve biodiversity by maximising the potential of urban spaces for PV energy generation, while considering how to integrate PV systems into the urban fabric. Through detailed explorations of the challenges, solutions, and best practices involved, the book aims to promote the effective integration of PV systems into urban settings and thereby contribute to a sustainable and resilient urban futures.
