some of the solar radiation temperature increase is transferred to the building roof and attic by natural convection and radiation, badly designed and ventilated BIPV systems may become a fire risk. Overheating of PV modules and transferring
Additional shade shields the house from the heat of the sun, but also may reduce the power from the solar panels. So the question would be if there is an optimum point there. Shade could come from trees in front of the house, other buildings, or e.g. solar sails. The answer could also be "None", or "as much shade as possible".

Many homeowners asked whether solar panels are safe for their roof, referring to leakage due to the holes in the roof from installing the mounting brackets. The L-brackets that mount on the roof are specifically designed for the American roofing material with a generous amount of sealant on the foot of each L-bracket that prevents any water from seeping in and getting under the roof .
The real issue is that the solar panel system, or photovoltaic system, creates dirty electricity that ultimately radiates EMF radiation into the home. The other concern comes from “smart meters” installed to monitor how
In general, there are three steps for evaluating the urban roof PV potential. First, the solar energy resources in the study area were estimated, and the solar radiation on the roofs was calculated using simulation tools. The second, was to evaluate the urban roof area available for PV installation.
Figure 6(b) shows that the outer surface temperature (measurement point 1 in Figure 5) was considerably higher than the outdoor dry-bulb temperature (measurement point 3 in Figure 5) when the south-facing gable roof of the regular house was exposed to solar radiation during the daytime. However, the outer surface temperature was lower than the outdoor dry
