In this study, two units PV panels of 1 kW each were setup at building rooftop level. Modular green roofs were established at three different heights of 0.3 m, 0.6 m and 0.9 m from rooftop floor level, respectively. The effects of each green roof height on the PV module temperature, ambient temperature and daily power yield were monitored for 6 months� period. The results showed that green roof-PV system exhibited lower ambient and PV module temperatures of 3.36% and 17% compared to bare roof-PV system. Other than that, green roof enhanced the power generation efficiency averagely by 1.6%. It is found that green roof installed at 0.3 m has increased the power generation performance by 3% and 11% compared to that of 0.6 m and 0.9 m, respectively. � 2022 Final 2023-05-29T09:36:38Z 2023-05-29T09:36:38Z 2022 Article 10.1016/j.asej.2022.101741 2-s2.0-85125445635 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85125445635&doi=10.1016%2fj.asej.2022.101741&partnerID=40&md5=e47a08b7d0a0622b1539dd11da6a7aa7 https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/26779 13 5 101741 Ain Shams University Scopus |
