The PV potential per dwelling (E PV), in kWh, is defined in Eq. (2) as a function of the percentage of rooftop occupied with PV (α) and S PV. The model considers α values ranging from 0 % (no PV installation) to 100 % (full rooftop occupation). E PV also depends on the local hourly solar radiation (G i) and the PV system performance factor (η).
