Load-match-driven design improvement of solar PV systems and its impact on the grid with a case study

The incorporation of solar energy systems into residential buildings is emerging as an important method of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from the housing industry. However, several challenges accompany the deployment of solar PV for residential construction, such as determining an optimum size and layout design for best on-site system utilization in conformity to local roof sloping practices, especially in cold-climate regions.
